## What is CVE-2026-90377?

CVE-2026-90377 is a denial of service vulnerability in Linux, published on 17 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: fix RX data queuing of RRO 3.0

For RRO 3.0, RX data released from a RRO data queue should be put to
the indicator queue. The frames are processed and completed in the
context of the indicator queue NAPI, which only polls skbs queued on
the MT_RXQ_RRO_IND list; frames queued under the data queue id are
left sitting on that list until the data queue NAPI happens to run,
stalling and reordering RX data.

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-90377 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-90377 is a denial of service vulnerability in Linux, published on 17 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-90377 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
