Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

NewCVE-2026-98190 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 5.10.271, 5.15.222, 6.1.189, 6.6.158, 6.12.112, 6.18.54, 7.2.8 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass in the wilc_wfi_p2p_rx process. An attacker can cause the system to crash or access unmapped memory by sending specially crafted P2P public action frames of insufficient length to a device in P2P listen mode. This is only exploitable if the device is in P2P listen and receives frames from a nearby unauthenticated device.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
