CVE-2026-52913 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: v: stop OGMv2 on disabled interface When a batadv_hard_iface is disabled, its mesh_iface pointer is set to NULL. However, batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() may still dispatch OGMs via batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() for interfaces that have since lost their mesh_iface association. This results in a NULL pointer dereference when batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() unconditionally calls netdev_priv() on the now NULL hard_iface->mesh_iface to retrieve the batadv_priv. It is necessary to ensure that the batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() checks that it is using the same mesh_iface for which batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() was called.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
