{"cve":"CVE-2026-80851","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-04T16:18:13.950","modified":"2026-10-19T09:17:20.667","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngtp: serialize PDP context updates\n\nPDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP\nnetwork device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL,\nbut the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.\n\nRunning both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the\nsame PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and\nreproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program\nracing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK:\n\n  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n  KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range\n         [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]\n  RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]\n  RBP: dead000000000122\n\nThe second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.\n\nSerialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a\nshared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in\nthe NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete\nPDP context use in the DELPDP path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1e995498d29784a06a2b2899370a1926cfc8410d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d950e98f74af9611925a5226edced02155f6ed1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/498386b6d402737db1e2eeed4c385acbf0ef9e34","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f77ddb2756340c1b05381674ca025d52998005e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6df4f05bc2991467939d7d80b6f7e121559cc3df"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:52:03.409947763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80851","score":0.00173,"percentile":0.06639,"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).
