CVE-2026-72039

Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.21% (11th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72039 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bnx2x: fix potential memory leak in bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp()

If the allocation of fp[i].tpa_info fails, the error path will not free

the struct bnx2x_fastpath allocated earlier, as it is not linked to the

bp structure yet. Fix that by linking it immediately after allocation.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
