What is CVE-2026-72005?
CVE-2026-72005 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rt2x00 WiFi driver where full teardown is called before work setup is complete during probe. This can lead to accessing uninitialized resources if early probe failures occur before drv_data and workqueue allocation. Affected systems should apply the kernel patch to prevent potential stability issues.
Azərbaycanca: CVE-2026-72005 Linux kernel-in rt2x00 WiFi driver-ində aşkarlanıb. Probe mərhələsində bəzi resurslar (məsələn, drv_data, workqueue) ayrılmamışdan əvvəl tam "teardown" çağrılması istifadə edilməmiş resursa girişə səbəb ola bilər.
