Description
CVE-2026-93790 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver affecting version 4.15. The flaw involves an out-of-bounds access in the tid_data array during block acknowledgment notification processing, where an incorrect index was used. This could lead to corruption of unrelated memory slots. The issue has been fixed by adding proper bounds checking and correcting the indexing logic.
