From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ena: clean up XDP TX queues when regular TX setup fails create_queues_with_size_backoff() creates XDP TX queues before setting up the regular TX path. If the subsequent allocation or creation of regular TX queues fails, the error handling paths omit the teardown of the XDP TX queues, leading to a resource leak. Fix this by explicitly destroying the XDP TX queue subset at the two missing failure points. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc7. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an ENA device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-72056 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/net/ethernet/amazon/ena/ena_netdev.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/df65d9fea8437235e740552e542fb309765507db https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5daa63404b708fc74e94da8398affbb148d09044 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/523caef03124ecc08ce62a78c617759c2d28cf1c https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f2ff634d95f8a6c885b9ce71a64067e255bcc34a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6773d6d82bdabddab2b31605d6d7029c91dbd217 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6596baf8041100a9d1647beb5ea8ea4496ce058f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11f68ebc6891d11de5f32b7dee918c5dc18b8de1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1bd6676254b4ab6acd44b662b5e92822c036463a
