Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64125)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper hardware state management in bcmgenet_eee_enable_set in the Broadcom GENET network driver when enabling energy-efficient ethernet settings. A local user can enable the affected settings to cause a denial of service.

On affected systems, RX traffic can stop flowing while the link remains up, and on some boards the resulting corruption can lead to a paging fault in skb_release_data via bcmgenet_rx_poll on an LPI exit.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
