It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31604 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31604/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31604/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31604","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31604/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31604","record":{"aliases":["AZL-84029","BELL-CVE-2026-31604","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31604","GHSA-jcj3-vp6r-4j69","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31604","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31604","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31604","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31604","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31604"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the rtw88 Wi-Fi driver during probe failure can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: rtw88: fix device leak on probe failure\n\nDriver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB\ndevice while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to\ntake additional references unless the structures are needed after\ndisconnect.\n\nThis driver takes a reference to the USB device during probe but does\nnot to release it on all probe errors (e.g. when descriptor parsing\nfails).\n\nDrop the redundant device reference to fix the leak, reduce cargo\nculting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is\nneeded, and reduce the risk of further memory leaks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"wifi: rtw88: fix device leak on probe failure","id":"CVE-2026-31604","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"fbdev: udlfb: avoid divide-by-zero on FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO","id":"CVE-2026-31605"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"staging: sm750fb: fix division by zero in ps_to_hz()","id":"CVE-2026-31603"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-14","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the rtw88 Wi-Fi driver during probe failure can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31604/"}
