CVE-2026-64030 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_epcs IEEE80211_MLE_STA_EPCS_CONTROL_LINK_ID is 0x000f, so link_id extracted from a PRIO_ACCESS ML element PER_STA_PROFILE subelement can be 0..15. sdata->link[] has IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) entries (indices 0..14), making index 15 out-of-bounds. A connected WiFi 7 AP can trigger this by sending an EPCS Enable Response action frame with a PER_STA_PROFILE subelement where link_id = 15. The unsolicited-notification path (dialog_token = 0) is reachable any time EPCS is already enabled, without any prior client request. sdata->link[15] reads into the first word of sdata->activate_links_work (a wiphy_work whose embedded list_head is non-NULL after INIT_LIST_HEAD), so the NULL check on the result does not catch the invalid access. The garbage pointer is then passed to ieee80211_sta_wmm_params(), which dereferences link->sdata and crashes the kernel. The same class of bug was fixed for ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration() by commit 162d331d833d ("wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration").
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's WiFi mac80211 subsystem allows for an out-of-bounds write by improperly handling link IDs in the EPCS (Enhanced Power Control Support) management. This issue affects the stable versions of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability arises because the link ID can be set to 15, which exceeds the valid range, leading to a memory access violation. When a WiFi 7 access point sends a specific action frame with an invalid link ID, it can trigger this vulnerability, causing a kernel crash by dereferencing a garbage pointer.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed.
