CVE-2026-31646

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Last modified:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net: lan966x: fix page_pool error handling in lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc_page_pool()<br /> <br /> page_pool_create() can return an ERR_PTR on failure. The return value<br /> is used unconditionally in the loop that follows, passing the error<br /> pointer through xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() into page_pool_use_xdp_mem(),<br /> which dereferences it, causing a kernel oops.<br /> <br /> Add an IS_ERR check after page_pool_create() to return early on failure.
