CVE-2026-64212

What is CVE-2026-64212?

A vulnerability exists in the Intel wireless drivers within the Linux kernel. In the function iwl_mld_remove_link, there is a risk of dereferencing a potentially NULL pointer before performing a null check. This may allow for unintended behavior or further exploits due to improper memory handling. The fix implements a proper memory management approach by ensuring that the link is freed at the end of the function to prevent the use after free condition.
