CVE-2026-68407: wifi: nl80211: free RNR data on MBSSID mismatch

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

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

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

wifi: nl80211: free RNR data on MBSSID mismatch

nl80211_parse_beacon() rejects EMA RNR data when there are fewer RNR
entries than MBSSID entries.

The rejected RNR allocation has not been attached to the beacon data yet,
so free it before returning the error.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68407 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:
