Overview

CVE-2026-23037 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 31, 2026.

Technical description

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

can: etas_es58x: allow partial RX URB allocation to succeed

When es58x_alloc_rx_urbs() fails to allocate the requested number of

URBs but succeeds in allocating some, it returns an error code.

This causes es58x_open() to return early, skipping the cleanup label

'free_urbs', which leads to the anchored URBs being leaked.

As pointed out by maintainer Vincent Mailhol, the driver is designed

to handle partial URB allocation gracefully. Therefore, partial

allocation should not be treated as a fatal error.

Modify es58x_alloc_rx_urbs() to return 0 if at least one URB has been

allocated, restoring the intended behavior and preventing the leak

in es58x_open().

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-23037?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-23037 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
