## What is CVE-2026-93790?

CVE-2026-93790 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux, published on 24 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: iwlwifi: mvm: fix out-of-bounds tid_data access in BA notif

mvmsta->tid_data was indexed by the TFD loop counter 'i' instead of
the actual TID value 'tid'. This writes lq_color into a random tid_data
slot unrelated to the BA entry.
Since multi-TID blockack is not really in use, 'i' was always 0 and no
harm was done.
Add a out-of-bound check before accessing the array.

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-93790 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-93790 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux, published on 24 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-2026-93790 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.
