# CVE-2026-23246: wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration CVE-2026-23246 is fixed in 46 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23246, released March 18, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-23246 - Priority: High - CVSS: 8.8 (Moderate) - EPSS: 0.0029 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Mar 18, 2026 - Vendor advisory: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-23246 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration link_id is taken from the ML Reconfiguration element (control & 0x000f), so it can be 0..15. link_removal_timeout[] has IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) elements, so index 15 is out-of-bounds. Skip subelements with link_id >= IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS to avoid a stack out-of-bounds write. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux
