CVE-2026-98183

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 wireless networking subsystem. An adjacent attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read by transmitting specially crafted wireless mesh network frames containing empty Path Request (PREQ) elements. This issue occurs because the kernel reads header fields before verifying the element size. Exploitation of this flaw may lead to a denial of service (DoS) or the disclosure of sensitive memory information.
