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-2026-64176 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-2026-64176/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64176/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64176","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64176/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64176","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64176","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64176","GHSA-m7pm-g64q-7xf7","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-64176","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64176"],"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 driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Incorrect TX rate handling in the iwlwifi driver for old devices can cause firmware asserts and crashes, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-682","name":"Incorrect Calculation"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix driver-set TX rates on old devices\n\nOn old devices such as 7265D, rates are still encoded in version 1\nformat, which doesn't use the CCK/OFDM rate index (0-3/0-7) but\nrather their PLCP value (e.g. 10 for 1 Mbps CCK rate.)\n\nWhile introducing v3 rates, I changed the driver from internally\nhandling v1 rates and converting to v2, to internally handling v3\nand converting to v1 or v2 according to the firmware.
