CVE-2026-99045: ibmveth: h_free logical LAN on open-fail after register

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: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux a065bd31ec462f6f9c267026b708dd020f122723, af0524bf4ce1a4cbd2946aa81751582951cfcab5, c54bbdf6f0731102a4bf7f5e4ee535b3ea415996.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux a065bd31ec462f6f9c267026b708dd020f122723, af0524bf4ce1a4cbd2946aa81751582951cfcab5, c54bbdf6f0731102a4bf7f5e4ee535b3ea415996 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ibmveth: h_free logical LAN on open-fail after register ibmveth_open() registers the logical LAN, then allocates the RX buffer pools. A pool failure jumps to out_free_buffer_pools without h_free_logical_lan(), so PHYP still owns the buffer-list page when it is unmapped. request_irq() failure already issued the hypercall before taking the same label. Move that h_free to the shared post-register unwind so both paths deregister before the buffer list is unmapped.
