# CVE-2026-74475

> 10.0 CRITICAL

## Beschreibung

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vxlan: use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit()

The neighbour hardware address n->ha can be updated asynchronously by the
neighbour subsystem, protected by n->ha_lock seqlock. Reading n->ha without
holding the seqlock loop can lead to torn reads or reading a partially updated
MAC address.

Use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() to safely copy n->ha under
read_seqbegin()/read_seqretry() lock protection before using it.

Note that arp_reduce() and neigh_reduce() seem to have the same issue
left for future patches.
