Technical description

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

wifi: cfg80211: stop PMSR before P2P and NAN teardown

PMSR request teardown must abort active measurements while the

wireless_dev is still present in the driver. cfg80211_leave_locked() and

cfg80211_stop_pd() already do this before invoking the driver's stop

callback, but cfg80211_stop_p2p_device() and cfg80211_stop_nan() do not.

Those helpers are also called directly by nl80211, rfkill shutdown, and

wireless_dev unregister paths. If one of these paths stops a P2P device

or NAN interface with a pending request, it removes the mac80211

subinterface from the driver first. Subsequent request cleanup cannot

reach the lower driver's abort callback, but cfg80211 frees the request

regardless. Driver state can then retain a stale request and use it when

it later reports a result.

Call cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() before stopping the P2P device or NAN

interface. This keeps lower-driver request state and cfg80211 request

owners

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90343?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90343 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
