CVE-2026-90591
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-pm7x-98w8-92pm ↗EUVD-2026-120492 ↗
description
Zephyr systems using the NXP ENET-QOS Ethernet driver may mishandle receive descriptors after certain incoming frames are dropped. An attacker able to send traffic to the affected interface can cause network reception to stop until reboot; on platforms that discard the resulting DMA write, stale buffer contents may be passed to the network stack. No authentication or unusual device configuration is required beyond network reachability to that interface.
mitigation
Update Zephyr to 4.3.2 or 4.5.0, as appropriate for the maintained release line. Until updated, restrict untrusted traffic from reaching interfaces that use the NXP ENET-QOS driver.
fixed in 4.3.2, 4.5.0
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
