Overview

CVE-2026-90344 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: mac80211: disconnect on CSA to channel 0

The refactor for the CSA parsing erroneously equates channel

zero and no information present, leading it to ignore a CSA

on an AP that advertises a switch to that (invalid) channel.

This leads to not disconnecting, which we should. For Intel

devices, this can lead to a firmware crash.

Fix this by using an int type for the channel number as well

as the opclass, and using a (negative) value that cannot be

encoded in the element to indicate it's not present.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90344?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90344 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.
