CVE-2026-93278

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Octeon network driver. During interface shutdown, the driver deletes the packet polling mechanism without properly disabling it first, allowing active polling routines to continue running after interrupt handlers are released. A local attacker could exploit this race condition during device removal or shutdown to trigger a use-after-free error when memory is freed, resulting in a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
