CVE-2026-93064: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix off-by-one in TXF key sanitiser

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix off-by-one in TXF key sanitiser

iwlmvmfrobtxfkeyiter() tracks the last matched byte position in loop variable 'i'. When a full key match is found (match == keylen), 'i' points at the last byte of the matched key. The memset start offset should therefore be i + 1 - keylen, not i - keylen; the current code zeroes one byte before the match and leaves the final key byte un-sanitised.

Description

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Are specific affected or fixed Linux kernel versions identified?

No version ranges are provided. The available remediation references are three stable-kernel commits.

2

Does the available information identify attacker prerequisites or default-configuration exposure?

No. It does not state how an attacker could trigger the condition, what access they would need, or whether a default configuration is affected.

3

How can an administrator assess whether their kernel contains the issue?

Review the implementation of iwl_mvm_frob_txf_key_iter() or compare the kernel source against the referenced stable commits. The vulnerable behavior uses i - keylen as the memset offset after a full key match, rather than i + 1 - keylen.
