CVE-2026-72411

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

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

net: dsa: mxl862xx: fix use-after-free of DSA ports in crc_err_work

Upon an MDIO CRC error mxl862xx_crc_err_work_fn() walks the DSA ports and closes the CPU port conduits:

mxl862xx_remove() unregisters the switch before cancelling this work:

dsa_unregister_switch() frees the dsa_port objects. If a CRC error schedules the work during teardown it can run after the ports have been freed and dereference freed memory.

Guard the port walk with MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, which is already set before dsa_unregister_switch().

DSA tears the ports down under rtnl_lock(), so checking the flag under rtnl_lock() means the work either runs before teardown and sees valid ports, or runs afterwards, observes the flag and skips the walk. This mirrors the host_flood_work handler, which skips torn-down ports under rtnl_lock().

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L/PR:L) sin interacción: escalada de privilegios kernel. Use-after-free permite DoS al cerrar puertos; impacto de disponibilidad en dispositivos DSA/switch.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
