CVE-2026-23042 is fixed in 14 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23042, released February 4, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-23042 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: n/a - EPSS: 0.0017 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Feb 4, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf: fix aux device unplugging when rdma is not supported by vport If vport flags do not contain VIRTCHNL2_VPORT_ENABLE_RDMA, driver does not allocate vdev_info for this vport. This leads to kernel NULL pointer dereference in idpf_idc_vport_dev_down(), which references vdev_info for every vport regardless. Check, if vdev_info was ever allocated before unplugging aux device. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | dtb-aarch64 opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-64kb opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-64kb sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-azure opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-azure sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default-base opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1.160000.2.8 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default-base sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1.160000.2.8 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-docs opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-docs sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-build opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-rt opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-source opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-source sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-syms opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-syms sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.18.8-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23042](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-23042.md) | Feb 4, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T07:25:28Z UTC.
