Overview

CVE-2026-68350 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026.

Technical description

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

wifi: carl9170: fix OOB read from off-by-two in TX status handler

The bounds check in carl9170_tx_process_status() uses

`i > ((cmd->hdr.len / 2) + 1)` which is off by two, allowing

2 extra iterations past valid _tx_status entries when the firmware-

controlled hdr.ext exceeds hdr.len/2. Fix by using the correct

comparison `i >= (cmd->hdr.len / 2)`.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-68350?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-68350 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it.
