CVE-2026-98381

NameCVE-2026-98381
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: veth: manage XDP program pointers during channel resize veth_set_channels() tears down XDP resources for removed RX queues without clearing rq->xdp_prog. If the program is then detached or replaced, those queues keep the old pointer after bpf_prog_put(). A later channel increase can re-enable NAPI and run the freed program. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90000256048 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: veth_xdp_rcv_skb (include/linux/filter.h:779 include/net/xdp.h:696 drivers/net/veth.c:820) Call Trace: veth_xdp_rcv (drivers/net/veth.c:941) veth_poll (drivers/net/veth.c:986) __napi_poll (net/core/dev.c:7787) net_rx_action (net/core/dev.c:7850 net/core/dev.c:8007) handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:645) Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
