AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions including 5.15.0-1117.124~20.04.1 and related updates. Users and administrators should apply these kernel updates to mitigate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CVE-2026-64090 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's batman-adv module related to the translation table (TT) handling of VLAN responses. The issue involves the potential sending of empty VLAN responses from the global TT state, which could cause inconsistencies. This flaw was addressed by preventing empty VLAN replies in indirect TT responses. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to specific fixed releases. The CVSS score is 5.5, indicating a medium severity with impact primarily on availability. A patch is available and included in several Linux kernel updates.
