{"cve":"CVE-2026-64125","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-19T16:17:54.130","modified":"2026-10-16T16:19:08.533","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: bcmgenet: keep RBUF EEE/PM disabled\n\nSetting RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in RBUF_ENERGY_CTRL breaks the RX\npath on GENET hardware once MAC EEE becomes active. RX traffic stops\nflowing while the link stays up and the usual descriptor/RX error\ncounters remain quiet. In that state the MAC still accepts frames\n(rbuf_ovflow_cnt keeps climbing) but RBUF no longer forwards them to\nDMA, so rx_packets is no longer incremented at the netdev level. On\nsome boards the corruption ends up as a paging fault in\nskb_release_data via bcmgenet_rx_poll on an LPI exit.\n\nReproduced on Pi 4B (BCM2711 + BCM54213PE) and confirmed by Florian\nFainelli on an internal Broadcom 4908-family board with the same crash\nsignature. RBUF_PM_EN is not publicly documented.\n\nThis shows up more often now that phy_support_eee() enables EEE by\ndefault, but it also affects older kernels as soon as TX LPI is\nturned on via ethtool, so it is not specific to recent changes.\n\nAlways clear RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in bcmgenet_eee_enable_set so\nthe bits stay off across resets. UMAC and TBUF setup is left alone so\nTX-side EEE keeps working.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2040eb83f6ada148fb32dd98b943a498005d79f2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/289499907399c5a9f2ed82cb34df49112bb8488f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d4ef05266ab16d8ef7dd21658a557801eb78704","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49bdf6bbb21b9c6e3f4d0c1910bf0ef98424be95","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a1730245e416d11ad5c0f2c100061d61cc43f60"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64125","score":0.00552,"percentile":0.45842,"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).
