Improper control of a resource through its lifetime in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53232

Vulnerability identifier: #VU135522

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-2026-53232

CWE-ID: CWE-664

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the phy probing logic for the sfp upstream handling when probe failure paths are processed. A local user can trigger phy probing failure and subsequent SFP events to cause a denial of service.

The issue can leave a dangling upstream reference on the sfp-bus that may later be used during SFP events.
