What is CVE-2026-23119?

CVE-2026-23119 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 14 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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

bonding: provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect()

After 3cbf4ffba5ee ("net: plumb network namespace into __skb_flow_dissect") we have to provide a net pointer to __skb_flow_dissect(), either via skb->dev, skb->sk, or a user provided pointer.

In the following case, syzbot was able to cook a bare skb.
