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

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

wifi: mt76: mt7925: guard link STA in decap offload

mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload() iterates over the vif valid_links mask
when updating decap offload state for an MLO station. The station may not
have a link STA for every valid link of the vif, so mt792x_sta_to_link()
can return NULL for a link that belongs to the vif but not to the station.

The function currently dereferences mlink before checking whether the
link WCID is ready. If mlink is NULL, setting or clearing
MT_WCID_FLAG_HDR_TRANS dereferences a NULL pointer.

Skip links without a station link before touching mlink->wcid.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68311 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:
