LIN1022-25900 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-46233

Created: May 29, 2026    Updated: Jun 9, 2026
Found In Version: 10.22.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 22
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  batman-adv: bla: only purge non-released claims  When batadv_bla_purge_claims() goes through the list of claims, it is only traversing the hash list with an rcu_read_lock(). Due to a potential parallel batadv_claim_put(), it can happen that it encounters a claim which was actually in the process of being released+freed by batadv_claim_release(). In this case, backbone_gw is set to NULL before the delayed RCU kfree is started. Calling batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() is then no longer allowed because it would cause a NULL-ptr derefence.  To avoid this, only claims with a valid reference counter must be purged. All others are already taken care of.
