Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74480)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 a use-after-free in br_multicast_leave_group() in the bridge multicast handling code when processing fast-leave operations on port groups. A local user can trigger deletion of a matching port group to cause a denial of service.

The issue can occur when multicast-to-unicast had been enabled, allowing multiple port groups for the same port and group with different source MAC addresses, and is later disabled so entries are matched by port only.
