CVE-2026-68328
No CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: Check resource mutex allocation
nfp_cpp_resource_find() allocates a CPP mutex handle for the matching
resource-table entry and then reports success. nfp_resource_try_acquire()
immediately passes that handle to nfp_cpp_mutex_trylock().
However, nfp_cpp_mutex_alloc() returns NULL on failure. If that happens
for a matching table entry, the resource lookup still returns success and
the following trylock dereferences a NULL mutex pointer while opening the
resource.
nfp_resource_acquire() already treats failure to allocate the table mutex
as -ENOMEM. Do the same for the resource mutex and fail the lookup before
publishing the rest of the resource handle.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
