Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-28 11:07:26 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: use safe list iteration in radar detect work

The call to ieee80211_dfs_cac_cancel can cause the iterated chanctx to
be freed and removed from the list. Guard against this to avoid a
slab-use-after-free error.
