Overview

CVE-2026-68352 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware IE lengths in connect event

The firmware-controlled beacon_ie_len, assoc_req_len, and assoc_resp_len

fields in ath6kl_wmi_connect_event_rx() are not validated against the

buffer length. Their sum (up to 765) can exceed the actual WMI event

data, causing out-of-bounds reads during IE parsing and state corruption

of wmi->is_wmm_enabled.

Add a check that the total IE length fits within the buffer.

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.
