      <title>CVE-2026-98707 — wifi: mac80211: shut down RX BA session timer on teardown</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98707</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wifi: mac80211: shut down RX BA session timer on teardown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tearing down an RX BA session can leave the session timer queued on a
freed tid_rx. Later timer-wheel processing and the timer callback itself
then run against freed memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An RX BAR handler can dereference tid_rx under RCU before teardown
unpublishes it and stay in its read-side critical section while teardown
deletes the session timer. The stale handler can then rearm the timer
after timer_delete_sync() returns and before the RCU callback frees
tid_rx.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use timer_shutdown_sync() so rearm attempts become ineffective once
teardown starts. Keep reorder_timer unchanged: teardown marks the session
removed under reorder_lock and its release path checks that state before
rearming. session_timer has no equivalent guard because
ieee80211_rx_h_ctrl() rearms it before taking reorder_lock.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
