CVE-2026-93796

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver. When wireless device initialization encounters an error during transmit setup, the cleanup process frees memory allocated for packet reception but fails to clear the corresponding pointers. A local user could trigger subsequent device teardown or retry operations to access the freed memory, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) through a system crash.
