5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2026-23104 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 4, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix devlink reload call trace
Commit 4da71a77fc3b ("ice: read internal temperature sensor") introduced
internal temperature sensor reading via HWMON. ice_hwmon_init() was added
to ice_init_feature() and ice_hwmon_exit() was added to ice_remove(). As a
result if devlink reload is used to reinit the device and then the driver
is removed, a call trace can occur.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0fd4b5d
Call Trace:
string+0x48/0xe0
vsnprintf+0x1f9/0x650
sprintf+0x62/0x80
name_show+0x1f/0x30
dev_attr_show+0x19/0x60
The call trace repeats approximately every 10 minutes when system
monitoring tools (e.g., sadc) attempt to read the orphaned hwmon sysfs
attributes that reference freed module memory.
The sequence is:
1. Driver load, ice_hwmon_init() gets called from ice_init_feature()
2. Devlink reload down, flow does not call ice_remove()
3. Devlink reload up, ice_hwmon_init() gets called fr
Remediation
