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-2026-63869 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-2026-63869/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63869/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63869","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63869/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63869","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-63869","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63869","GHSA-p8w8-3vc5-9f6x","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63869"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Wi-Fi","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a shift-out-of-bounds error in the Linux kernel Wi-Fi subsystem by injecting a malformed radiotap header, causing a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"},{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: mac80211: limit injected antenna index in ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap\n\nWhen parsing the radiotap header of an injected frame,\nieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap() uses the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA value\ndirectly as a shift count:\n\n\tinfo-\u003econtrol.antennas |= BIT(*iterator.this_arg);\n\n*iterator.this_arg is an 8-bit value taken straight from the frame\nsupplied by userspace, so BIT() can be asked to shift by up to 255.
