Overview

CVE-2026-90361 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: ath11k: fix leak in ath11k_service_ready_ext_event()

Currently, during ath11k_service_ready_ext_event() processing,

svc_rdy_ext.mac_phy_caps can be allocated during TLV parsing. This is a

temporary allocation that is freed on the success path, but not on the

error path. If parsing succeeds far enough to allocate mac_phy_caps and

then fails on a later TLV, the allocation leaks. So free the allocation

on the error path.

Compile tested only.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90361?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90361 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.
