RHSA-2026:83540 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.300000190734863 HIGH

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) implementation. This vulnerability occurs because a pointer to network packet data is not updated after memory is reallocated, leading to the use of an outdated memory address. An attacker with local access could potentially trigger this condition, causing memory corruption. This could result in a system crash (denial of service) or other unpredictable system behavior.
