CVE-2026-52981

   
Software afectado LINUX KERNEL
 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

neigh: let neigh_xmit take skb ownership

neigh_xmit always releases the skb, except when no neighbour table is
found. But even the first added user of neigh_xmit (mpls) relied on
neigh_xmit to release the skb (or queue it for tx).

sashiko reported:
If neigh_xmit() is called with an uninitialized neighbor table (for
example, NEIGH_ND_TABLE when IPv6 is disabled), it returns -EAFNOSUPPORT
and bypasses its internal out_kfree_skb error path. Because the return
value of neigh_xmit() is ignored here, does this leak the SKB?

Assume full ownership and remove the last code path that doesn't
xmit or free skb.
