First allocate and stage all\nbuffers required for the packet, recycling all staged buffers with\nxsk_buff_free() if any allocation fails. Only after this stage\nsucceeds, copy the data, reserve the RX descriptors, and release the\nbuffers in an error-free loop.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/214fb79b0379cb0214905632a2537c0c33f594eb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60d7d3559ce66e227e195e9463cdfed8077c8659","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8341bd3ff126d85bc8c4ed52eedcaa5b1a65f194","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aaebce297efc3e3dccb98a6ff838cfaa47db08db","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e37b2abca80473e106176e41712a369fd2f72117"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-90115","score":0.00206,"percentile":0.10456,"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).
