      <title>CVE-2026-98823 — wifi: cfg80211: preserve hidden-group beacon IE ownership</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98823</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: cfg80211: preserve hidden-group beacon IE ownership&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A hidden-group probe-response entry borrows its beacon IEs from the
group&amp;#39;s beacon entry. cfg80211_update_assoc_bss_entry() can pass such
an entry to cfg80211_update_known_bss() when merging scan entries
after a channel switch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copying the borrowed beacon_ies into the associated entry gives the
same allocation two owners. Releasing the group&amp;#39;s beacon entry can
then leave the associated entry pointing to freed IEs, which are
freed again when that entry is released.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skip beacon IE replacement when the source entry belongs to a hidden
group. Preserve probe-response processing, the subsequent metadata
updates, and the existing rejection path for conflicting hidden
beacon updates.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
