Linux Kernel: Incorrect Parsing of Wi-Fi Frame Elements
CVE-2026-23152
Summary
A bug in the Linux kernel's Wi-Fi handling code could cause it to misinterpret certain Wi-Fi frames. This could potentially lead to system crashes or other issues, especially if your organization relies on Linux for wireless network management. To fix this issue, update your Linux kernel to the latest version.

Original description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: correctly decode TTLM with default link map
TID-To-Link Mapping (TTLM) elements do not contain any link mapping
presence indicator if a default mapping is used and parsing needs to be
skipped.
Note that access points should not explicitly report an advertised TTLM
with a default mapping as that is the implied mapping if the element is
not included, this is even the case when switching back to the default
mapping. However, mac80211 would incorrectly parse the frame and would
also read one byte beyond the end of the element.
