Justification
Impact
CVE-2026-53257 affects the cfg80211 wireless stack (net/wireless), which is only built when CONFIG_CFG80211 is enabled. Chainguard kernel configurations build no wireless support (CONFIG_WLAN and CONFIG_CFG80211 are disabled), so the vulnerable code is not included in the shipped kernel.
