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-2026-90016 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-2026-90016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90016/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90016","record":{"aliases":["AZL-101616","BELL-CVE-2026-90016","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90016","GHSA-54jr-3vx9-2c5p","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90016"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An out-of-bounds read in the rtl8723bs Wi-Fi driver allows attackers to leak kernel memory or cause a system crash via crafted wireless frames.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nstaging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()\n\nrtw_restruct_wmm_ie() scans in_ie for a WMM IE with:\n\n\twhile (i \u003c in_len) {\n\t\t...\n\t\tif (i + 5 \u003c in_len \u0026\u0026 in_ie[i] == 0xDD \u0026\u0026 ...) {\n\t\t\t...\n\t\t\tbreak;\n\t\t}\n\t\ti += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2); /* to the next IE element */\n\t}\n\nWhen the \"i + 5 \u003c in_len\" match check fails simply because i is\nwithin 5 bytes of the end of the buffer (i.e. no WMM IE was found\nnear the tail of in_ie), execution falls through to\n\"i += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2)\", which reads in_ie[i + 1].
