It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72060 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72060/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72060/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72060","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72060/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72060","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72060","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72060","GHSA-h5ww-6qr3-gmcf","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72060"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing guard in the TI ICSSG Ethernet driver causes log flooding and counter corruption when PA stats are absent, leading to resource exhaustion and inaccurate statistics.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: ethernet: ti: icssg: guard PA stat lookups\n\nicssg_ndo_get_stats64() unconditionally calls emac_get_stat_by_name()\nwith FW PA stat names regardless of whether the PA stats block is\npresent on the hardware.  emac_get_stat_by_name() already guards the\nPA stats lookup with `if (emac-\u003eprueth-\u003epa_stats)`; when that pointer\nis NULL the lookup falls through to netdev_err() and returns -EINVAL.\nBecause ndo_get_stats64 is polled regularly by the networking stack\nthis produces thousands of log entries of the form:\n\n  icssg-prueth icssg1-eth end0: Invalid stats FW_RX_ERROR\n\nA secondary consequence is that the int(-EINVAL) return value is\nimplicitly widened to a near-ULLONG_MAX unsigned value when accumulated\ninto the __u64 fields of rtnl_link_stats64, silently corrupting the\nrx_errors, rx_dropped and tx_dropped counters reported by `ip -s link`.\n\nEvery other PA-aware code path in the driver is already guarded with\nthe same `if (emac-\u003eprueth-\u003epa_stats)` check.
