CVE-2026-98334
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: reset state when starting AP fails
ieee80211_start_ap() can set enable_beacon (and beacon_int) and fail later, leaving it set forever. Scanning can then attempt to restore beaconing on such an interface, leading to:
in hwsim. Also, cfg80211 then allows changing the interface type, and the off-channel path getgs confused about beaconing as well, leading to another warning:
Reset the state on failures to always have it correct.
