Description
CVE-2026-93203 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's batman-adv module related to CRC corruption caused by parallel processing of claim additions. The flaw occurs when concurrent operations on claim backbone gateways lead to incorrect CRC calculations, resulting in CRC values that do not accurately reflect the claims' ownership. This issue affects version 3.5 of the Linux kernel and has been fixed in several commits.
