What is the CVSS score of EUVD-2026-45728?

EUVD-2026-45728 has a contested CVSS base score of 7.5 from a third party (e.g. CISA-ADP), while the vendor rates it High. vuln.today uses the vendor rating as authoritative.

Which versions of Linux Kernel are affected by EUVD-2026-45728?

A denial-of-service vulnerability in Linux kernel systems with network bridging configurations can cause unexpected server crashes through a fault in memory allocation handling.. A patch is available.

How to fix or mitigate EUVD-2026-45728?

Within 24 hours, inventory Linux systems in production to identify those using network bridging features and note their current kernel versions for comparison against vendor advisories. Within 7 days, apply the available patch from your Linux distribution (obtain the specific version from vendor security bulletins) to systems with network bridging configurations, prioritizing production infrastructure; coordinate with operations for maintenance windows. Within 30 days, ensure patch compliance across all affected Linux systems and validate through kernel version verification.

DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/vmalloc: do not trigger BUG() on BH disabled context

__get_vm_area_node() currently triggers a BUG() if in_interrupt() returns true. However, in_interrupt() also reports true when BH are disabled.

The bridge code can call rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() with bottom halves disabled:

__vlan_add() -> br_fdb_add_local() spin_lock_bh(&br->hash_lock); <-- Disable BH -> fdb_add_local() -> fdb_create() -> rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() -> kvmalloc() -> vmalloc() -> __get_vm_area_node() -> BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) spin_unlock_bh(&br->hash_lock)

this triggers the BUG() despite the caller not being in NMI or hard IRQ context.

Replace the in_interrupt() check with in_nmi() || in_hardirq().

AnalysisAI

Kernel panic (denial of service) in the Linux kernel's mm/vmalloc subsystem occurs because __get_vm_area_node() calls BUG_ON(in_interrupt()), and in_interrupt() also returns true when bottom halves (softirqs) are merely disabled rather than in a genuine interrupt context. A legitimate network-bridge path (br_fdb_add_local under spin_lock_bh) reaches vmalloc while BH is disabled, tripping the BUG() and crashing the kernel. NVD scores this A:H (availability only) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The root cause is an over-broad context check in the kernel virtual-memory allocator. __get_vm_area_node() guards against being called from atomic interrupt context but used in_interrupt(), a macro that conflates hard IRQ, softirq, and BH-disabled contexts. When the bridge subsystem adds a local FDB entry (__vlan_add -> br_fdb_add_local -> fdb_create -> rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast -> kvmalloc -> vmalloc), it holds br->hash_lock via spin_lock_bh(), which disables bottom halves. That makes in_interrupt() report true even though the code runs in normal process context, so kvmalloc()'s fall-through to vmalloc() hits BUG_ON() and panics. The fix narrows the assertion to in_nmi() || in_hardirq(), the genuinely unsafe contexts. Affected products per CPE are limited to the Linux kernel (cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*). No CWE is assigned, but this is effectively a reachable assertion / improper context handling leading to a crash (akin to CWE-617 Reachable Assertion / CWE-248).

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available (commits ad7eff07b625f53c3fb513b30d7a8c5a79fbc7ce and 04aa71da5f35aacdc9ae9cb5150947daa624f641); apply the vendor-released patched stable kernel - EUVD data indicates fixed releases in the 7.0.12 and 7.1 lines plus the 6.19 fix. Rebuild or update to a distribution kernel that includes these commits and verify your distro's changelog references the commit hashes, since release numbering varies by vendor. As a temporary compensating control where patching is not immediate, restrict who can create and configure Linux bridges with VLAN filtering and add local FDB entries by limiting CAP_NET_ADMIN and disabling unprivileged user namespaces (sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 / user.max_user_namespaces=0), accepting the trade-off that this breaks rootless-container networking. These are mitigations, not fixes; upgrading the kernel is the correct remediation. Reference: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-63955.
