Overview

CVE-2026-90373 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: mt7915: clear wcid mask under mutex after RCU pointer clear

mt7915_remove_interface() cleared the wcid mask bit with no lock held and

before clearing the RCU wcid pointer. The mask is a non-atomic RMW shared

with the allocators, which all run under dev->mt76.mutex; on DBDC the two

wiphys share one mt76_dev, so this raced add_interface/sta_add on the

other band and could leak or double-hand-out a wcid. Clearing the bit

before the RCU pointer also let a concurrent allocation reuse the index

and publish its wcid, which the subsequent NULL assignment then wiped.

Move the clear into the existing mutex section, after the RCU pointer is

cleared.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90373?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90373 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.
