Description
===========

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

wifi: mt76: mt7925: drop TXRX_NOTIFY on non-mmio buses

PKT_TYPE_TXRX_NOTIFY is an mmio-only event, but mt7925_rx_check() and
mt7925_queue_rx_skb() dispatch it to mt7925_mac_tx_free() on every bus.
mt7925_mac_tx_free() cleans the DMA tx queues with
mt76_queue_tx_cleanup(), which calls queue_ops->tx_cleanup(). Only the
mmio queue ops implement that callback; on USB it is NULL, so a
TXRX_NOTIFY there calls a NULL pointer in the RX worker:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  RIP: 0010:0x0
  Call Trace:
   mt7925_mac_tx_free+0x58/0x350 [mt7925_common]
   mt7925_rx_check+0xe2/0x130 [mt7925_common]
   mt76u_rx_worker+0x1b9/0x620 [mt76_usb]

Drop the event on non-mmio buses via mt76_is_mmio(), as in
commit 5683e1488aa9 ("wifi: mt76: connac: do not check WED status for
non-mmio devices").

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68193 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
