Overview
CVE-2026-98337 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 6, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: don't start a ROC while scanning
The ROC work can be pending when a scan starts (which requires
ROC list to be empty, but that's possible), and then a new ROC
can be added to the list and the work will pick it up.
Avoid starting that ROC if a scan made it between things, as
otherwise we'll hit a warning later:

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-98337?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-98337 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.
