CVE-2026-74406
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in vxlan_gro_prepare_receive(). udp_tunnel_sock_release() could set sk->sk_user_data to NULL while vxlan_gro_prepare_receive() is running.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in vxlan_gro_prepare_receive(). udp_tunnel_sock_release() could set sk->sk_user_data to NULL while vxlan_gro_prepare_receive() is running. Let's check if rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() is NULL after skb_gro_remcsum_init().
