CVE-2026-98301
Sumário
de MITRE • 06/10/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: mst: move switchdev call outside rcu
This is a follow-up of one of sashiko's pre-existing bug reports. br_mst_set_state() calls switchdev_port_attr_set() for nonzero MSTIs while holding rcu_read_lock() which invokes the blocking switchdev notifier chain and may sleep. Nonzero MSTI changes come from netlink with rtnl held. Move the switchdev call before entering the rcu section and assert that rtnl is held.
The call cannot be deferred because netlink needs its error and extack. Also DSA reads the old bridge MST state during the callback and checks it. A deferred callback will be late and will see the updated state.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
