Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90071)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.

The vulnerability exists due to failure to restore the skb->dev device pointer in the sch_teql TEQL scheduler when transmitting packets through TEQL slave devices. A local user can cause a packet to retain a stale device pointer after a slave transmission failure.

Exploitation requires a later slave device without a resolved neighbour and deletion of the previous slave while the packet remains queued.
