CVE-2025-71133
- Published: 2026-01-14T15:16:03.053
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event
irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from “neigh” (alias
“ptr”) until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE.
Other events come with different structures pointed to by “ptr” and they
may be smaller than struct neighbour.
Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.
The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:
