LIN1023-18602 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-23019

Created: Feb 2, 2026    Updated: Feb 3, 2026
Found In Version: 10.23.30.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 23
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

net: marvell: prestera: fix NULL dereference on devlink_alloc() failure

devlink_alloc() may return NULL on allocation failure, but
prestera_devlink_alloc() unconditionally calls devlink_priv() on
the returned pointer.

This leads to a NULL pointer dereference if devlink allocation fails.
Add a check for a NULL devlink pointer and return NULL early to avoid
the crash.
