If the frame is\nshorter than el_off, subtracting it causes the calculated IE length to\nwrap. The length is eventually passed to cfg80211_find_elem_match() as a\nvery large unsigned value, so the element walk runs beyond the RX skb.\n\nThis path is reached from at76_rx_tasklet() while scanning. If the device\ndelivers a truncated beacon or probe response, the oversized IE length\ncauses an out-of-bounds read during scanning.\n\nSkip the IE lookup if the frame does not reach the variable elements,\nbefore subtracting el_off.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4875680d1703f56afa6257ba30244f2fb44ed205","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61a799ffd1e5a4fd3702d547828b7ff3d161468e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b406f33d234f98c8b310fdab5cbb492d85e98e49","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bcde7249d45f52f994a9872bedf45994472ade77","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cb831aff2f850f72bc5ff5ad77d0a70bb5a84061"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68373","score":0.00275,"percentile":0.19696,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
