CVE-2026-72255

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter component has been addressed. The issue involves the handling of bridge devices in the NFQUEUE, where a fake destination could be kept alive after bridge teardown had started. This could potentially lead to a use-after-free scenario. The fix pins the bridge master device while the packet sits in NFQUEUE and ensures that queued entries are reaped when the bri [truncated]

CVE-2026-72254

The Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2026-72254 was resolved by rejecting fib expressions on the netdev egress hook. A fib expression in a netdev egress base chain caused a NULL pointer dereference at eval due to nft_in(pkt) being NULL on the transmit path. The issue arose because nft_fib_validate() used NF_INET_* values, which are distinct from netdev hook numbers, allowing an egress chain to pass validati [truncated]

CVE-2026-72235

A use-after-free vulnerability was resolved in the Linux kernel related to batman-adv. The issue arises from a potential buffer reallocation behind the skb in batadv_interface_rx(), which could cause variables pointing to the old buffer to be used after it has been freed. This was correctly handled for the VLAN header but not for the ethernet header, which is later used for TT and AP isolation handling.

CVE-2026-72226

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the batman-adv module, specifically in the tt (translation table) component. A TT unicast TVLV contains the number of VLANs stored in it, which is an u16 and gets multiplied by the size of the struct batadv_tvlv_tt_vlan_data (8 bytes). This can cause an overflow of the u16 used to store the tt_vlan_len, invalidating additional safety checks to prevent out-of-bounds [truncated]
