CVE-2026-53257

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An issue within the mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem, specifically related to the enforcement of High Efficiency HE and Extremely High Throughput EHT capabilities and operations, could lead to a system crash. This vulnerability arises when HE/EHT capabilities are set...

CVE-2026-53257 wifi: cfg80211: enforce HE/EHT cap/oper consistency

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: enforce HE/EHT cap/oper consistency Xiang Mei reports that mac80211 could crash if ehtcap is set but ehtoper isn't. Rather than fixing that for the individual users, enforce that both HE/EHT have consistent elemen...
