CVE-2026-80564

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the gve driver lacks an implementation of adjfine, leading to a NULL pointer dereference when triggered from userspace, e.g., via testptp.

Risk Assessment

A local user can cause a system crash (kernel panic) by invoking the appropriate ioctl on the PTP device.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that implements adjfine in the gve driver.
