CVE-2026-98192

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wcn36xx: Fix potential use-after-free in TX ack timer teardown wcn36xx_dxe_deinit() tears down the TX ack timer with timer_delete(), which only dequeues the timer and does not wait for a callback that is already executing; the preceding free_irq() calls synchronize the interrupt handlers only. The callback, wcn36xx_dxe_tx_timer(), can therefore be running past the teardown and use the wcn freed along with the ieee80211_hw in wcn36xx_remove(): it takes wcn->dxe_lock, reads wcn->tx_ack_skb and passes wcn->hw to ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(). Fix this by using timer_shutdown_sync(), which waits for a running callback and also prevents the timer from being rearmed again. The timer is set up again by wcn36xx_dxe_init() on the next start, so the start/stop cycle is unaffected. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
