{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-93250","aliases":[],"summary":"vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_flush()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_flush()\n\nvxlan_mdb_flush() iterates over the MDB entries using\nhlist_for_each_entry_safe(), which only tolerates the removal of the\ncurrent entry. Contrary to the comment above the loop, the removal of an\nentry can trigger the removal of another entry.\n\nFlushing the remotes of a (*, G) entry also removes the (S, G) entries\nthat were created for its source list, once they are left without\nremotes:\n\nvxlan_mdb_remotes_flush()\n-> vxlan_mdb_remote_del()\n   -> vxlan_mdb_remote_srcs_del()\n      -> vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del()\n         -> vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del()\n            -> __vxlan_mdb_del()\n               -> vxlan_mdb_entry_put()\n\nSuch an entry can be located after the (*, G) entry in the list, as\nvxlan_mdb_entry_get() returns an existing entry without moving it to the\nhead of the list. This order is obtained by adding the (S, G) entry\nbefore the (*, G) entry, the latter with NLM_F_REPLACE, as the addition\nof the source otherwise fails with -EEXIST. The (S, G) entry is then the\nentry saved by hlist_for_each_entry_safe() and it is freed while the\n(*, G) entry is processed. The next iteration calls hlist_del() on it\nagain, writing LIST_POISON1 to LIST_POISON2 [1].\n\nBesides device deletion, the flush is also reachable from RTM_DELMDB\nwith NLM_F_BULK.\n\nFix by re-reading the next entry after the remotes were flushed. The\ncurrent entry cannot be removed by this flush, as source lists can only\nbe configured on (*, G) entries and the removed entries are (S, G)\nentries. It is therefore still linked and its next pointer reflects the\nremovals.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in vxlan_mdb_entry_put.part.0+0x328/0x588\nWrite of size 8 at addr dead000000000122 by task ip/327\n\nCPU: 3 UID: 1000 PID: 327 Comm: ip Not tainted 7.2.0-rc7 #2 PREEMPT\nCall trace:\n vxlan_mdb_entry_put.part.0+0x328/0x588\n vxlan_mdb_flush+0x1d8/0x25c\n vxlan_mdb_fini+0x8c/0x100\n vxlan_uninit+0x1c/0x7c\n unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x954/0xd4c\n rtnl_dellink+0x210/0x530\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x434/0x4d0\n netlink_rcv_skb+0xc4/0x204\n rtnetlink_rcv+0x18/0x24\n netlink_unicast+0x4b8/0x548\n netlink_sendmsg+0x29c/0x560\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x390/0x3ec\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x114/0x188\n __sys_sendmsg+0xf0/0x178\n __arm64_sys_sendmsg+0x48/0x60\n invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x58/0x180\n el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x74/0x140\n do_el0_svc+0x30/0x40\n el0_svc+0x38/0x98\n el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe4\n el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x19c","categories":["Operating systems"],"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93250","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"a3a48de5eade770e911d35291217bdd69ce04ef1","lessThan":"f8a9b988e7a7bc674e74e8c901794d792c35689e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a3a48de5eade770e911d35291217bdd69ce04ef1","lessThan":"c7dc26d06f90ca11bbd6114f6a62a67d038816c7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a3a48de5eade770e911d35291217bdd69ce04ef1","lessThan":"3e6b705bc162fc7257645725a7d2cf6c71250318","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a3a48de5eade770e911d35291217bdd69ce04ef1","lessThan":"f26400b325bdc2868e40612c4804c82cf8ba6275","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a3a48de5eade770e911d35291217bdd69ce04ef1","lessThan":"bc2dc66a6693a78f8c1e6ca2dbebd50f16e2c366","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93250","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"6.4","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.4","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.52","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}],"defaultStatus":"affected"}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93250","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"3e6b705bc162fc7257645725a7d2cf6c71250318","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"}],"cvss":7.8,"severity":"High","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00159,"percentile":0.0466,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-09-24T15:51:15.108Z","modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93250","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-93250","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8a9b988e7a7bc674e74e8c901794d792c35689e"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c7dc26d06f90ca11bbd6114f6a62a67d038816c7"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e6b705bc162fc7257645725a7d2cf6c71250318"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f26400b325bdc2868e40612c4804c82cf8ba6275"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc2dc66a6693a78f8c1e6ca2dbebd50f16e2c366"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-19T09:08:03.974Z","content_hash":"e6882c6696226f0c98079575efc466cfeae10a1f3dcb08334112dae33ad0e8b3"}}
