LIN1025-17236 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-64218

Created: Aug 1, 2026    Updated: Aug 11, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  batman-adv: bla: fix report_work leak on backbone_gw purge  batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw() removes stale backbone gateway entries, but fails to properly handle their associated report_work:  - If report_work is running, the purge must wait for it to finish before   freeing the backbone_gw, otherwise the worker may access freed memory   (e.g. bat_priv). - If report_work is pending, the purge must cancel it and release the   reference held for that pending work item.  The previous implementation called hlist_for_each_entry_safe() inside a spin_lock_bh() section, but cancel_work_sync() may sleep and therefore cannot be called from within a spinlock-protected region.  Restructure the loop to handle one entry per spinlock critical section: acquire the lock, find the next entry to purge, remove it from the hash list, then release the lock before calling cancel_work_sync() and dropping the hash_entry reference. Repeat until no more entries require purging.
