CVE-2026-68414CVE-2026-68414
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: cancel sched scan results work on unregister
cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unregister/free boundary and access freed rdev state.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
scheduled-scan result path: unregister/free path:
1. cfg80211_sched_scan_results() 1. interface teardown stops and
queues rdev->sched_scan_res_wk. removes the scheduled scan request.
2. cfg802
