CVE-2026-68198

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

wifi: ath6kl: fix use-after-free in aggr_reset_state()

The aggr_reset_state() function uses timer_delete() (non-synchronous)

for the aggregation timer before proceeding to delete TID state and

before the structure is freed by callers like aggr_module_destroy().

If the timer callback (aggr_timeout) is executing when aggr_reset_state()

is called, the callback will continue to access aggr_conn fields like

rx_tid[] and stat[] which may be freed immediately after by

kfree(aggr_info->aggr_conn) in aggr_module_destroy().

Additionally, the timer callback can re-arm itself via mod_timer() while

aggr_reset_state() is running, creating a more complex race condition.

Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback

has completed before returning.
