CVE-2026-43213

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtw89_pci component. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a kernel NULL pointer dereference by sending a specially crafted TX release report with an abnormal sequence number. This can lead to an out-of-bounds memory access, resulting in a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).

Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «wifi» as described in COMMENT_ZERO. Fixes are delivered through standard kernel errata for supported products. Operational exposure depends on whether this subsystem or driver is active in your configuration.
