CVE-2026-64110

What the bug is

When igc_fpe_init_tx_descriptor() fails, no one takes care of an allocated skb, leaking it. [1] Use dev_kfree_skb_any() on failure. Tested on an I226 adapter with the following command, while injecting faults in igc_fpe_init_tx_descriptor() to trigger the error path. # ethtool --set-mm $DEV verify-enabled on tx-enabled on pmac-enabled on [1] unreferenced object 0xffff888113c6cdc0 (size 224): ... backtrace (crc be3d3fda): kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x3b1/0x410 __alloc_skb+0xde/0x830 igc_fpe_xmit_smd_frame.isra.0+0xad/0x1b0 igc_fpe_send_mpacket+0x37/0x90 ethtool_mmsv_verify_timer+0x15e/0x300

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Kernel module

igc

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_ETHERNET|CONFIG_IGC|CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_INTEL' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w igc

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.

• bookwormMnot built on amd64/cloud-amd64, arm64/cloud-arm64
• trixieMnot built on amd64/cloud-amd64, arm64/cloud-arm64, armel/rpi
• forky, sidMnot built on amd64/cloud-amd64, arm64/cloud-arm64

M

a module where it is built at all; some flavours do not build it

Build switches

CONFIG_ETHERNET, CONFIG_IGC, CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_INTEL

Reads as

all on means the file is compiled; any one off means it is not.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself. Debian's own status above stays authoritative about the source package.MAINTAINERS kbuild Makefiles Debian linux-config packages
