These two paths\ncan perform the post-encap SID lookup in different routing contexts\n(e.g., ip rules matching on the ingress interface, or VRF table\nseparation). Whichever path runs first populates the cache, and the\nother reuses it blindly, bypassing its own lookup.\n\nFix this by splitting the cache into cache_input and cache_output,\nso each path maintains its own cached dst independently.","published":"2026-04-24T15:16:47.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T19:18:05.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-459"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00443,"percentile":0.38294,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.44%).
