CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-23122
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: Reduce TSN TX packet buffer from 7KB to 5KB per queue
The previous 7 KB per queue caused TX unit hangs under heavy
timestamping load. Reducing to 5 KB avoids these hangs and matches
the TSN recommendation in I225/I226 SW User Manual Section 7.5.4.
The 8 KB "freed" by this change is currently unused. This reduction
is not expected to impact throughput, as the i226 is PCIe-limited
for small TSN packets rather than TX-buffer-limited.
