Overview

CVE-2025-71224 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 14, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: ocb: skip rx_no_sta when interface is not joined

ieee80211_ocb_rx_no_sta() assumes a valid channel context, which is only

present after JOIN_OCB.

RX may run before JOIN_OCB is executed, in which case the OCB interface

is not operational. Skip RX peer handling when the interface is not

joined to avoid warnings in the RX path.
