CVE-2026-80845

CVE-2026-80845 affects the Linux kernel xfrm subsystem, specifically the NAT keepalive worker. The root cause is an AB-BA lock inversion : nat_keepalive_work() acquires x->lock while holding xfrm_state_lock, whereas the SA deletion path (xfrm_state_delete() / __xfrm_state_delete()) takes the s...

CVE-2026-80845

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: avoid lock inversion in nat keepalive work natkeepalivework walks the state table while xfrmstatewalk holds net-xfrm.xfrmstatelock. Its callback then acquires x-lock, which conflicts with the delete path taking the same loc...

The vulnerability of the xfrm_nat_keepalive_net_init() function in the net/xfrm/xfrm_nat_keepalive.c module, which implements networking functions in the Linux kernel, allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the xfrmnatkeepalivenetinit function in the net/xfrm/xfrmnatkeepalive.c module, which implements networking functions in the Linux kernel, is related to state management errors. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity...
