CVE-2026-72005

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description An issue exists in the rt2x00lib probe dev() function where the full rt2x00lib remove dev() teardown process is triggered for all probe failures. This occurs even if drv data allocation or workqueue allocation fails before the intf work, autowakeup work, and sleep work items are initialized. Consequently, the teardown path attempts to drain work items that have not been set up, leading to invalid work drains.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
