CVE-2026-72104

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

Description The pcache target parses optional arguments as name/value pairs. When a table provides a recognized option name, such as cache mode, without a corresponding value, the parse cache opts() function consumes the name and calls dm shift arg() to retrieve the value. If no arguments remain, dm shift arg() returns NULL, which is subsequently dereferenced by strcmp(), leading to a crash.

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