Overview
CVE-2026-98187 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 6, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: p54: require a full exp_if record in PDR_INTERFACE_LIST
The PDR_INTERFACE_LIST loop only checks that the record start is within
the entry before reading an entire struct exp_if from it. A truncated
trailing record makes the if_id/variant reads cross the entry boundary
into the heap beyond the EEPROM buffer (verified with a KASAN
reproducer of the loop). The variant also feeds the synth front-end
selection, so this is not only a leak.
Advance only while a full record still fits in the entry.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-98187?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
