High [CVE-2026-68121] Linux kernel: PPPoE memory corruption via stale pointer
CVE-2026-68121Source published Source updated
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pppoe: reload header pointer after dev_hard_header() pppoe_sendmsg() saves a pointer to the PPPoE header before calling dev_hard_header(). Device header callbacks are allowed to reallocate the skb head, invalidating pointers into it. This can happen when a send is blocked in copy_from_user() while the first non-Ethernet port is added to an empty team device. The team's delegated GRE header callback then expands the skb head. PPPoE subsequently writes six bytes through the stale pointer into the freed head. Reload the PPPoE header through the skb's network-header offset after device header creation. pskb_expand_head() updates that offset when it relocates the head. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PPPoE…

- Mitigation guidance
- If PPPoE functionality is not required, prevent the `pppoe` kernel module from loading to mitigate this vulnerability. This can be achieved by creating a modprobe configuration file. A system reboot is required for the changes to take effect. ```bash echo "install pppoe /bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-pppoe.conf ```
