CVE-2026-72228

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

Overview

CVE-2026-72228 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

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

batman-adv: frag: fix primary_if leak on failed linearization

If the skb has a frag_list, it must be linearized before it can be split

using skb_split(). But when this step failed, it must not only free the skb

but also take care of the reference to the already found primary_if.

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.
