CVE-2026-64576

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nexthop: initialize extack in nh_res_bucket_migrate()

nh_res_bucket_migrate() passes an uninitialized netlink_ext_ack to call_nexthop_res_bucket_notifiers(). When nh_notifier_res_bucket_info_init() fails (e.g. the kzalloc returns -ENOMEM), the error is propagated back before any notifier sets extack._msg, and the error path formats the stale pointer with pr_err_ratelimited("%s\n", extack._msg). With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE this dereferences uninitialized stack memory:

Zero-initialize extack so _msg is NULL on error paths that never set it.
