CVE-2026-68321

net: txgbe: fix FDIR filter leak on remove

Published Aug 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: txgbe: fix FDIR filter leak on remove

Perfect FDIR filters can be added while the interface is down and are
kept on the software list for later restore. unregister_netdev() only
calls ndo_stop when the device is up, so txgbe_fdir_filter_exit() in
txgbe_close() is skipped in that case and the filters are leaked on
driver remove. Free the filter list from txgbe_remove() as well.
