CVE-2026-72024
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: remove interfaces with RCU list deletion
Queue wake, stop, and disable paths walk local->interfaces under RCU. The bulk hardware teardown path removes entries with list_del(), so an asynchronous transmit completion can follow a poisoned list node in ieee802154_wake_queue().
Use list_del_rcu() as in the single-interface removal path. The following unregister_netdevice() waits for in-flight RCU readers before freeing the netdevice, so no separate grace-period wait is needed.
