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-2026-68308 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-68308/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68308/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68308","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68308/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68308","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68308","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68308","GHSA-cfcv-hx89-922w","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68308"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing null check in the mt7996 WiFi driver can cause a kernel crash, leading to denial of service for local or adjacent attackers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: mt76: mt7996: check pointer returned by mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap()\n\nmt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap routine can theoretically return NULL so\ncheck cap pointer before dereferencing it.","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: mt76: mt7996: check pointer returned by mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap()","id":"CVE-2026-68308","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: connac: fix possible NULL-pointer deref in mt76_connac_mcu_uni_bss_he_tlv()","id":"CVE-2026-68309"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix crash in reset link replay","id":"CVE-2026-68307"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing null check in the mt7996 WiFi driver can cause a kernel crash, leading to denial of service for local or adjacent attackers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68308/"}
