CVE ID : CVE-2026-23171<\/p>\n
Published : Feb. 14, 2026, 4:15 p.m. | 14\u00a0minutes ago<\/p>\n
Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<\/p>\n
bonding: fix use-after-free due to enslave fail after slave array update<\/p>\n
Fix a use-after-free which happens due to enslave failure after the new
\nslave has been added to the array. Since the new slave can be used for Tx
\nimmediately, we can use it after it has been freed by the enslave error
\ncleanup path which frees the allocated slave memory. Slave update array is
\nsupposed to be called last when further enslave failures are not expected.
\nMove it after xdp setup to avoid any problems.<\/p>\n
It is very easy to reproduce the problem with a simple xdp_pass prog:
\n ip l add bond1 type bond mode balance-xor
\n ip l set bond1 up
\n ip l set dev bond1 xdp object xdp_pass.o sec xdp_pass
\n ip l add dumdum type dummy<\/p>\n
Then run in parallel:
\n while :; do ip l set dumdum master bond1 1>\/dev\/null 2>&1; done;
\n mausezahn bond1 -a own -b rand -A rand -B 1.1.1.1 -c 0 -t tcp “dp=1-1023, flags=syn”<\/p>\n
The crash happens almost immediately:
