Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74622)

CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in aq_ring_rx_deinit() in the atlantic network driver when deinitializing receive rings. A local user can trigger interface teardown while buffers have been consumed but not yet refilled to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because receive buffers in the gap between sw_tail and sw_head can retain live pages and DMA mappings that are not released during ring deinitialization.
