CVE-2026-23438

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mvpp2 driver. A local privileged user could cause a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service DoS, by triggering a null pointer dereference. This occurs when changing the Maximum Transmission Unit MTU on systems where the CM3 SRAM resource is not present,...
