Overview

CVE-2026-90349 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix out-of-bounds link array access in mt7996_tx()

When mac80211 leaves the link unspecified, mt7996_tx() substitutes the

primary link id of the station or vif. That value is

IEEE80211_LINK_UNSPECIFIED (0xf) until the first link has been added,

and it is then used unchecked to index vif->link_conf[],

mvif->mt76.link[] and sta->link[], all of which hold

IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) entries.

Clamp the primary link id to the default link before using it, and use

the clamped value for the link_sta fallback as well.

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-2026-90349?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90349 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.
