About this tag
The mlo wi-fi tag on WindowsForum.com covers Multi-Link Operation (MLO) in Wi-Fi, a key feature of Wi-Fi 7 that allows devices to communicate across multiple bands simultaneously for improved throughput and reliability. Recent discussions focus on a Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2026-23246) in the mac80211 MLO implementation, where a missing bounds check in the MLO reconfiguration parser could lead to a stack out-of-bounds write. The fix involves validating the link_id index against the maximum number of links. While the content is Linux-specific, MLO is a broader Wi-Fi standard that may interest Windows users evaluating next-generation wireless hardware and driver updates.
