For a sequence-zero packet it then disables IBS,\nmarks memdump collection active, and reads the advertised dump size.\n\nIf the controller reports a zero dump size, the error path frees the\nlocal qca_memdump object and returns without clearing qca->qca_memdump\nor undoing the collection state. A later memdump work item initializes\nits local pointer from qca->qca_memdump and skips allocation when that\npointer is non-NULL, so it can operate on freed memory. The stale\ncollection and IBS-disabled flags can also leave waiters or later\ntransmit handling blocked behind an aborted dump.\n\nClear the saved pointer and memdump state before returning from the\ninvalid-size path, matching the cleanup used when hci_devcd_init() fails.\n\nA static analysis checker reported the stale memdump state, and manual\nsource review confirmed the invalid-size failure path.","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:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/069258d5111eed9ac9586bee42d03d38e2975715","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2363a757694752426fc47f3eadde15cf5f791fa5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a3945e8dea6c9a8ec9e981169ac9487e1d6ad6a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf587a10c33e5571a299742e45bc18960b9912e7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cefb44c367b2b52e50f97bc8526d39df9bcf5e60"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:47:54.990491175+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68389","score":0.00254,"percentile":0.16942,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
