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-2026-97572 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-2026-97572/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97572/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97572","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97572/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97572","record":{"aliases":["AZL-104741","BELL-CVE-2026-97572","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97572","GHSA-675v-24qc-j383","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97572"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A Linux kernel bug in the bnxt_en driver fails to propagate initialization errors, potentially causing a null dereference and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nbnxt_en: Propagate RX ring init failures in bnxt_init_nic()\n\nbnxt_init_rx_rings() returns an error when bnxt_alloc_one_rx_ring()\nfails, but bnxt_init_nic() discards that return value and calls\nbnxt_init_chip(), which enables TPA.\n\nIf an allocation fails, this could leave rxr-\u003erx_tpa[] partially zeroed\nand TPA would be enabled over an array with zeroed entries.
