CVE-2026-80681
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: re-fetch eth header after route_shortcircuit()
Before route_shortcircuit(), the eth header pointer is cached from eth_hdr(skb).
Inside route_shortcircuit(), pskb_may_pull() can be called, which may reallocate skb->head.
In this case, returning to vxlan_xmit() leaves the cached eth pointer pointing to freed memory, leading to a use-after-free when dereferencing eth->h_dest.
Fix this by updating eth = eth_hdr(skb) after calling route_shortcircuit().
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.50%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 41
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
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).
