Linux Kernel CVE-2025-68360

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

wifi: mt76: wed: use proper wed reference in mt76 wed driver callabacks

MT7996 driver can use both wed and wed_hif2 devices to offload traffic from/to the wireless NIC. In the current codebase we assume to always use the primary wed device in wed callbacks resulting in the following crash if the hw runs wed_hif2 (e.g. 6GHz link).

Fix the issue detecting the proper wed reference to use running wed callabacks.

The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel mt76 wireless driver as used with MediaTek MT7996 (WiFi 7) chipsets when WED (Wireless Ethernet Dispatch) hardware flow offload is enabled and the secondary wed_hif2 engine is in use; the reproduction platform cited is the Banana Pi BPI-R4 running an out-of-tree mt76 module on kernel 6.12.50. No CPE strings were supplied in the intelligence, so exact affected version ranges are not enumerated by NVD data; the fix is delivered via kernel.org stable commits (385aab8fccd7a8746b9f1a17f3c1e38498a14bc7, ab94ecb997fd1bbc501a0116c7aad51556b67c86, d582d0e988d696698c94edf097062bb987ae592c), and any kernel/mt76 build predating those commits with MT7996+WED support should be considered affected until backport status is confirmed.
