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-2026-68309 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-2026-68309/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68309/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68309","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68309/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68309","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68309","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68309","GHSA-qjjf-qc2v-cvjc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68309"],"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 NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel mt76 WiFi driver can cause a system crash, requiring a kernel patch.","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: connac: fix possible NULL-pointer deref in mt76_connac_mcu_uni_bss_he_tlv()\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: connac: fix possible NULL-pointer deref in mt76_connac_mcu_uni_bss_he_tlv()","id":"CVE-2026-68309","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: mt7915: guard HE capability lookups","id":"CVE-2026-68310"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: mt76: mt7996: check pointer returned by mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap()","id":"CVE-2026-68308"},"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":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel mt76 WiFi driver can cause a system crash, requiring a kernel patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68309/"}
