CVE-2026-90077

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network (net) subsystem. An issue in the copy_net_ns() error handling path allows for resources allocated during network namespace creation to leak. This occurs because the preinit_net() function returns prematurely, preventing proper resource deallocation. A local attacker could exploit this resource leak to cause a denial of service (DoS) on the system.
