LIN1025-9077 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-31422

Created: Apr 14, 2026    Updated: Apr 17, 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:  net/sched: cls_flow: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks  flow_change() calls tcf_block_q() and dereferences q->handle to derive a default baseclass.  Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a NULL deref when a flow filter without a fully qualified baseclass is created on a shared block.  Check tcf_block_shared() before accessing block->q and return -EINVAL for shared blocks.  This avoids the null-deref shown below:  ======================================================================= KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f] RIP: 0010:flow_change (net/sched/cls_flow.c:508) Call Trace:  tc_new_tfilter (net/sched/cls_api.c:2432)  rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6980)  [...] =======================================================================
