      <title>CVE-2026-12999 — Infineon Airoc Wi-Fi driver leaks TX buffers on send failure, leading to permanent pool exhaustion</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2026-12999</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; zephyrproject zephyr&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Infineon Airoc Wi-Fi driver&amp;#39;s transmit callback airoc_mgmt_send() in drivers/wifi/infineon/airoc_wifi.c allocates a net_buf from the fixed airoc_pool for every outbound packet. When whd_network_send_ethernet_data() returns a synchronous failure, the underlying WHD library does not take ownership of the buffer, but the pre-fix driver returned -EIO without releasing it. Each failed transmit therefore permanently leaks one buffer from the pool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;airoc_pool is small and fixed (AIROC_WIFI_TX_PACKET_POOL_COUNT + AIROC_WIFI_RX_PACKET_POOL_COUNT, default 20 buffers) and is shared by WHD&amp;#39;s whd_host_buffer_get callback for both transmit and receive. Once enough send failures have leaked the pool dry, airoc_wifi_host_buffer_get() returns WHD_BUFFER_ALLOC_FAIL for all subsequent allocations, so both transmit and the WHD-driven receive path fail and Wi-Fi connectivity is lost until the device is rebooted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The leak occurs only on the transmit error path. A Wi-Fi-adjacent attacker can influence the conditions that cause synchronous send failures (for example by deauthenticating/disassociating the station while the local stack continues to attempt transmits), and ordinary transient failures over the device&amp;#39;s lifetime accumulate toward the same state. Reliable on-demand triggering is of high complexity and the impact is availability-only, but the resulting denial of service is permanent and non-recoverable without a reboot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fix releases the buffer with airoc_wifi_buffer_release() o…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
