Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 10:44:19 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath9k_htc: don't store usb_device_id

usb_device_id is not guaranteed to live longer than probe due to presence
of dynamic ID. All information apart from driver_data can be easily
retrieved from usb_device, so just store driver_data.
