CVE-2026-23348

4.7 · MEDIUM
Published Mar 25, 2026 linux CWE-362 EPSS 0.09% (0th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-23348 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on March 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7, 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:

cxl: Fix race of nvdimm_bus object when creating nvdimm objects

Found issue during running of cxl-translate.sh unit test. Adding a 3s

sleep right before the test seems to make the issue reproduce fairly

consistently. The cxl_translate module has dependency on cxl_acpi and

causes orphaned nvdimm objects to reprobe after cxl_acpi is removed.

The nvdimm_bus object is registered by the cxl_nvb object when

cxl_acpi_probe() is called. With the nvdimm_bus object missing,

__nd_device_register() will trigger NULL pointer dereference when

accessing the dev->parent that points to &nvdimm_bus->dev.
