CVE-2026-80938

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the mt7615 Wi-Fi driver. A deadlock can occur during system suspend operations when the suspend process attempts to acquire a mutex (a locking mechanism) while simultaneously waiting for a work item (mac_work) that also requires the same mutex. If mac_work is already running and blocked on the mutex, the suspend path will indefinitely wait for the work it holds the mutex against. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS), making the system unresponsive.
