The probe failure paths release this allocation with\nil_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a\nsuccessful probe.\n\nAs a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.\n\nFree the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the\nmac80211 hardware structure.\n\nThis issue was found by manual code inspection.","published":"2026-10-18T16:17:24.540000+00:00","modified":"2026-10-21T13:21:39.443000+00:00","status":"Received","score":null,"severity":"UNSCORED","vector":"","cvss_version":"","affected":[],"weaknesses":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ebc529726c0c038f49e513a7a6f1893552ee803","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89f9d6186dc7429f38132635526e28549c913c0b","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ab7bee2cd55f665cb29fa0ace2ec14020e0a452e","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd8f8f45d81aac384311701d7ffe26567af2e783","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8ebe286394c0bbb4a6dbacb182a34ab6376922d","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}],"kev":null,"kev_checked":true,"metrics":{},"configurations":[],"source":"nvd","retrieved_at":"2026-10-28T10:23:25.958336+00:00","exploited":false,"kev_stale":false,"products":[],"priority":{"label":"Assess exposure and vendor guidance","reasons":["No higher-priority signal is available in the current stored evidence."]},"epss":{"probability":0.00168,"percentile":0.05976,"date":"2026-10-27","stale":false},"version_assessment":null},"news":[],"campaigns":[],"domains":[{"domain":"git.kernel.org","source_url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ebc529726c0c038f49e513a7a6f1893552ee803","investigate_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/#git.kernel.org"}],"arsenal_url":"https://arsenal.aeglixmind.com/?cve=CVE-2026-98710","catalog_url":"https://cves.aeglixmind.com/cve/CVE-2026-98710","research_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/research/cve/CVE-2026-98710","coverage":{"news_candidates_checked":0,"campaign_candidates_checked":0,"bounded":false,"notice":"Exact CVE mentions in stored public excerpts and reviewed campaign content only.
