CVE-2026-23119: bonding: provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect()
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.13% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 0efee0b992f28bd5ee01c7a86ef6a307c42eb907, 3be945abdd228fd00f6afcf8d137002867a4651b, 5f9b329096596b7e53e07d041d7fca4cbe1be752.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0efee0b992f28bd5ee01c7a86ef6a307c42eb907, 3be945abdd228fd00f6afcf8d137002867a4651b, 5f9b329096596b7e53e07d041d7fca4cbe1be752 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bonding: provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect() After 3cbf4ffba5ee ("net: plumb network namespace into __skb_flow_dissect") we have to provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect(), either via skb->dev, skb->sk, or a user provided pointer. In the following case, syzbot was able to cook a bare skb.

Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).
Patch and commit links
Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
No commit or PR link among the references.
Credits
All researchersFinders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.
No credits in the CNA record.
Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
