Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64056

Published: July 20, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU138574
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-2026-64056
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 race condition in gmac_rx() in the cortina gemini ethernet driver when processing fragmented packets on systems using both ethernet ports. A local user can trigger concurrent packet reception to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises because a packet assembly sk_buff was shared between the two ports.
