{"id":"CVE-2026-98710","summary":"wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove\n\nil3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for\nthe EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with\nil_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a\nsuccessful probe.\n\nAs a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.\n\nFree the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the\nmac80211 hardware structure.\n\nThis issue was found by manual code inspection.","modified":"2026-11-04T14:27:28.379633959Z","published":"2026-10-18T15:46:40.790Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2026:5091-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98710.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/39a3af97a23f6778887528c1fb4ffc60017ed0e6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ebc529726c0c038f49e513a7a6f1893552ee803"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/52990dd317f76c1baa3665e3b1513cf3d4b48f5e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89f9d6186dc7429f38132635526e28549c913c0b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a17d3fbca1731ae84c03a3dea0970f62f19757fb"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ab7bee2cd55f665cb29fa0ace2ec14020e0a452e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd8f8f45d81aac384311701d7ffe26567af2e783"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8ebe286394c0bbb4a6dbacb182a34ab6376922d"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98710.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98710"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"073d3f5f1b3b6512eb82a3d40c84dedb14dc6f73"},{"fixed":"52990dd317f76c1baa3665e3b1513cf3d4b48f5e"},{"fixed":"a17d3fbca1731ae84c03a3dea0970f62f19757fb"},{"fixed":"39a3af97a23f6778887528c1fb4ffc60017ed0e6"},{"fixed":"3ebc529726c0c038f49e513a7a6f1893552ee803"},{"fixed":"ab7bee2cd55f665cb29fa0ace2ec14020e0a452e"},{"fixed":"cd8f8f45d81aac384311701d7ffe26567af2e783"},{"fixed":"89f9d6186dc7429f38132635526e28549c913c0b"},{"fixed":"f8ebe286394c0bbb4a6dbacb182a34ab6376922d"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98710.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.6.27"},{"fixed":"5.10.273"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.11.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.224"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.191"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.160"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.113"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.56"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98710.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2"}
