Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-93807

critical Nessus Plugin ID 349799

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- wifi: rsi: avoid reading TKIP MIC keys for non-TKIP ciphers rsi_hal_load_key() copies tx_mic_key and rx_mic_key from data[16] and data[24] whenever key data is present. Those offsets are only part of the 32-byte TKIP key layout. Shorter keys used by other ciphers, such as CCMP, do not provide those bytes, so the unconditional copies can read past the supplied key buffer. Only copy the MIC keys for TKIP, and reject malformed TKIP keys that are shorter than the expected 32-byte layout. [drop useless length check] (CVE-2026-93807)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
