CVE-2026-64032
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: mcast: Fix a possible use-after-free when removing a bridge port
When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over
all the bridge ports, disables the per-port multicast context on each
port and enables the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts instead. The
reverse happens when per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.
When global multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over all
the bridge ports and enables the per-port multicast context on each
port. The reverse happens when multicast snooping is disabled.
The above scheme can result in a situation where both types of contexts
(per-port and per-{port, VLAN}) are enabled on a single bridge port:
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 vlan_filtering 1
# ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 0
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 1
This is not intended and it is a problem since the commit cited below.
Prior to this commit, when removing a bridge port,
br_multicast_disable_port() would disable the per-port multicast context
and the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts would get disabled when
flushing VLANs.
After this commit, br_multicast_disable_port() only disables the
per-port multicast context if per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.
If both types of contexts were enabled on the port when it was removed,
the per-port multicast context would remain enabled when freeing the
bridge port, leading to a use-after-free [1].
Fix by preventing the bridge from enabling / disabling the per-port
multicast contexts when toggling global multicast snooping if per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled.

CSIRTS triage
- What
- Multiple kernel flaws including NTFS file system out-of-bounds read, AMD processor floating point unit data exposure, and AMD Zen 2 operation cache isolation failure.
- Who is affected
- Systems running affected Linux kernel versions; local attackers on systems with NTFS mounted or AMD processors.
- Urgency
- Moderate to high — local attackers can gain privilege escalation and information disclosure; apply patches promptly.
- Action
- Apply kernel security updates provided by distribution maintainer.
