CVE-2026-74323
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible token leak in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb()
If link_conf or link_sta lookup fails in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb routine, mt7996 driver leaks an already allocated tx token. Fix the issue releasing the token in case of error.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.38%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 29
- 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).
