Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52925)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in the VRF port removal logic when removing a port from a VRF while concurrent RCU readers access the master device. A local user can trigger concurrent network operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because an RCU reader can observe a new non-VRF master device and then dereference missing l3mdev operations.
