7.1 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2026-72425 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix FDIR CTRL VSI resource leak in ice_reset_all_vfs()
Resetting all VFs causes resource leak on VFs with FDIR filters
enabled as CTRL VSIs are only invalidated and not freed. Fix by using
ice_vf_ctrl_vsi_release() instead of ice_vf_ctrl_invalidate_vsi() which
aligns behavior with the ice_reset_vf() function.
Reproduction:
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/$pf/device/sriov_numvfs
ethtool -N $vf flow-type ether proto 0x9000 action 0
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/$pf/device/reset
