CVE-2026-53087

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description An issue exists in the bcmgenet network driver where free bds (buffer descriptors) are leaked. During the reclamation of the tx queue, the write pointer is fast-forwarded to drop data in flight, but these dropped frames are not returned to the pool of free buffer descriptors, and the network device is not notified that the data is being dropped.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
