Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-100071)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-100071). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: free learned nodes on device setup failure
hsr_dev_finalize() can fail after a lower-device RX handler has
already been registered (slave A is added before the failable slave B
and interlink adds). RX handlers run in softirq regardless of the
master's state, so frames received in that window can learn dynamic
nodes into node_db, and the error unwind never releases them.
Free both owned dynamic databases in the unwind, mirroring
hsr_dellink(). proxy_node_db is provably empty on every current error
exit (only interlink RX feeds it, and the interlink add is the last
failable step) and is freed for symmetry. The order is safe:
hsr_del_port() unregisters each RX handler with synchronize_net()
before hsr_del_nodes() runs, which removes remaining entries with
list_del_rcu() and defers their release with call_rcu() for readers
already under RCU.

CVE-2026-100071 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
