{"cve":"CVE-2026-23154","nvd":{"published":"2026-02-14T16:15:55.550","modified":"2026-10-19T19:17:39.693","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: fix segmentation of forwarding fraglist GRO\n\nThis patch enhances GSO segment handling by properly checking\nthe SKB_GSO_DODGY flag for frag_list GSO packets, addressing\nlow throughput issues observed when a station accesses IPv4\nservers via hotspots with an IPv6-only upstream interface.\n\nSpecifically, it fixes a bug in GSO segmentation when forwarding\nGRO packets containing a frag_list. The function skb_segment_list\ncannot correctly process GRO skbs that have been converted by XLAT,\nsince XLAT only translates the header of the head skb. Consequently,\nskbs in the frag_list may remain untranslated, resulting in protocol\ninconsistencies and reduced throughput.\n\nTo address this, the patch explicitly sets the SKB_GSO_DODGY flag\nfor GSO packets in XLAT's IPv4/IPv6 protocol translation helpers\n(bpf_skb_proto_4_to_6 and bpf_skb_proto_6_to_4). This marks GSO\npackets as potentially modified after protocol translation. As a\nresult, GSO segmentation will avoid using skb_segment_list and\ninstead falls back to skb_segment for packets with the SKB_GSO_DODGY\nflag. This ensures that only safe and fully translated frag_list\npackets are processed by skb_segment_list, resolving protocol\ninconsistencies and improving throughput when forwarding GRO packets\nconverted by XLAT.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2cbef9ea5a0ac51863ede35c45f26931a85d3888","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d48d59235c494d34e32052f768393111c0806ef","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e62db1e3140449608975e29e0979cc5f3b1cc07","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/426ca15c7f6cb6562a081341ca88893a50c59fa2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9122d7280b2303e835cdfec156bd932ac1f586ed"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-23154","score":0.00186,"percentile":0.08115,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
