{"id":"CVE-2026-23210","summary":"ice: Fix PTP NULL pointer dereference during VSI rebuild","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nice: Fix PTP NULL pointer dereference during VSI rebuild\n\nFix race condition where PTP periodic work runs while VSI is being\nrebuilt, accessing NULL vsi-\u003erx_rings.\n\nThe sequence was:\n1. ice_ptp_prepare_for_reset() cancels PTP work\n2. ice_ptp_rebuild() immediately queues PTP work\n3. VSI rebuild happens AFTER ice_ptp_rebuild()\n4. PTP work runs and accesses NULL vsi-\u003erx_rings\n\nFix: Keep PTP work cancelled during rebuild, only queue it after\nVSI rebuild completes in ice_rebuild().\n\nAdded ice_ptp_queue_work() helper function to encapsulate the logic\nfor queuing PTP work, ensuring it's only queued when PTP is supported\nand the state is ICE_PTP_READY.\n\nError log:\n[  121.392544] ice 0000:60:00.1: PTP reset successful\n[  121.392692] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n[  121.392712] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n[  121.392720] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n[  121.392727] PGD 0\n[  121.392734] Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n[  121.392746] CPU: 8 UID: 0 PID: 1005 Comm: ice-ptp-0000:60 Tainted: G S                  6.19.0-rc6+ #4 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n[  121.392761] Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC\n[  121.392773] RIP: 0010:ice_ptp_update_cached_phctime+0xbf/0x150 [ice]\n[  121.393042] Call Trace:\n[  121.393047]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[  121.393055]  ice_ptp_periodic_work+0x69/0x180 [ice]\n[  121.393202]  kthread_worker_fn+0xa2/0x260\n[  121.393216]  ? __pfx_ice_ptp_periodic_work+0x10/0x10 [ice]\n[  121.393359]  ? __pfx_kthread_worker_fn+0x10/0x10\n[  121.393371]  kthread+0x10d/0x230\n[  121.393382]  ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n[  121.393393]  ret_from_fork+0x273/0x2b0\n[  121.393407]  ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n[  121.393417]  ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n[  121.393432]  \u003c/TASK\u003e","modified":"2026-05-15T11:53:43.002196408Z","published":"2026-02-14T16:27:31.892Z","related":["ALSA-2026:6570","CGA-v9hq-4r84-xrfj","SUSE-SU-2026:0962-1","SUSE-SU-2026:1081-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20838-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1","SUSE-SU-2026:21284-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/23xxx/CVE-2026-23210.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7565d4df66b6619b50dc36618d8b8f1787d77e19"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ba0c7fff6616025a7d3a9e887e7ce16b06dc34b9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc6f36eaaedcf4b81af6fe1a568f018ffd530660"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/23xxx/CVE-2026-23210.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-23210"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.9.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.80"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-23210.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
