Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64545)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 a null pointer dereference in xdp_master_redirect() when processing XDP_TX on a bond slave during upper-master unlinking. A local user can trigger packet processing in this race window to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a kernel panic when the receiving device no longer has an upper-master adjacency but is still treated as a bond slave.
