Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-52975

Published: June 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU135394
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52975
CWE-ID: CWE-362
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to a data race in the bonding 802.3ad port-to-aggregator handling code when processing netlink requests and concurrent bonding state changes. A local user can send crafted netlink messages to trigger the race and cause a denial of service.

The issue was reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer and affects access to the port->aggregator pointer in the bonding subsystem.
