Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93204)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: 2.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison an ARP cache.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition caused by non-atomic MAC address updates in batadv_dat_entry_add() in the batman-adv distributed ARP table when a MAC address is updated concurrently with a reader accessing the entry. A remote attacker can cause a MAC address update to race with a reader to poison an ARP cache.
