Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel's mt76 wifi driver is affected from version 5.8 until fixed releases, which cancel reset and rate-control work during device unregistration. The source gives few details on who can trigger the race or what an attacker could do beyond touching hardware and station state after shutdown. Upgrade the Linux kernel to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, 6.18.57, or a later release in those series.
