CVE-2026-53097

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mt7996 Wi-Fi driver. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the mt7996_mac_dump_work() function due to a race condition during the detachment of the mt7996 PCI chip. This can occur when mt7996_crash_data is released while a related work item is still active, leading to the dereferencing of freed memory. This flaw could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
