7.5 · HIGH
Published Jul 19, 2026 EPSS 0.47% (39th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-63955 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

mm/vmalloc: do not trigger BUG() on BH disabled context

__get_vm_area_node() currently triggers a BUG() if in_interrupt() returns

true. However, in_interrupt() also reports true when BH are disabled.

The bridge code can call rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() with bottom

halves disabled:

__vlan_add()

-> br_fdb_add_local()

spin_lock_bh(&br->hash_lock); <-- Disable BH

-> fdb_add_local()

-> fdb_create()

-> rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast()

-> kvmalloc()

-> vmalloc()

-> __get_vm_area_node()

-> BUG_ON(in_interrupt())

spin_unlock_bh(&br->hash_lock)

this triggers the BUG() despite the caller not being in NMI or

hard IRQ context.

Replace the in_interrupt() check with in_nmi() || in_hardirq().
