FKIE_CVE-2026-53100

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-24 17:17 - Updated: 2026-07-21 18:21
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: fix deadlock in remain-on-channel mt76_remain_on_channel() and mt76_roc_complete() call mt76_set_channel() while already holding dev->mutex. Since mt76_set_channel() also acquires dev->mutex, this results in a deadlock. Use __mt76_set_channel() instead of mt76_set_channel(). Add cancel_delayed_work_sync() for mac_work before acquiring the mutex in mt76_remain_on_channel() to prevent a secondary deadlock with the mac_work workqueue.
