1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53069)

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 xdp_master_redirect() when processing XDP redirect operations for a master device that is not up. A local user can trigger the vulnerable code path to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be reached through the bonding round-robin transmit slave selection path when XDP redirection is enabled system-wide and the bond device was never opened.
