Overview

What is CVE-2026-72393?

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

eth: fbnic: don't cache shinfo across skb realloc

fbnic_tx_lso() calls skb_cow_head() which may reallocate the skb including the shared info. We can't use the pointer calculated before the call.

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fbnic_tx_lso.isra.0+0x668/0x8e0 Read of size 4 at addr ff110000262edd98 by task swapper/5/0 Call Trace: fbnic_tx_lso.isra.0+0x668/0x8e0 fbnic_xmit_frame+0x622/0xba0 dev_hard_start_xmit+0xf4/0x620
