CVE-2026-90353
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix ext PHY use-after-free on register error path
After mt7915_register_ext_phy() succeeded, a failure of the main PHY mt7915_init_debugfs() or mt7915_coredump_register() unwound through free_phy2, which called ieee80211_free_hw() on the ext PHY hw while it was still registered with mac80211, since mt76_unregister_device() only unregisters the main hw. Unregister the ext PHY (thermal + phy + hw) first and skip the redundant free.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.15%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 4
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
