Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affects Wifi Configuration Handling

CVE-2026-68406

What is CVE-2026-68406?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows for improper handling of wifi configuration parameters. Specifically, the parsing of PMSR FTM request can accept preamble values that are out of the expected nl80211 range, leading to potential security implications. It is crucial for implementations to reject any out-of-range values prior to processing in order to maintain robust security measures.
