CVE-2026-99210: accel/rocket: clear rdev on device init failure
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)
- 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: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 4ac852419f0d317c7bd8db5b8acb3cc78be7fe33, 79071b67182e1b352d51a3917729b8d424710b49, dd47a6c920083b069f00f0920e4566915a6aec46.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 4ac852419f0d317c7bd8db5b8acb3cc78be7fe33, 79071b67182e1b352d51a3917729b8d424710b49, dd47a6c920083b069f00f0920e4566915a6aec46 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/rocket: clear rdev on device init failure rocket_probe() stores the return value from rocket_device_init() in the file-scoped rdev pointer before checking whether it is an error pointer. If rocket_device_init() fails, rdev is left as an ERR_PTR. The rdev pointer is also used as the marker for whether the shared rocket device has already been initialized. A later core probe can therefore see a non-NULL rdev, skip rocket_device_init(), and dereference the error pointer when reading rdev->num_cores. Save the error code and clear rdev before returning from the rocket_device_init() failure path.
