CVE-2026-53353 - Vulnerability Details

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hsr: Remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self().

syzbot reported the warning [0] in hsr_addr_is_self(),
whose assumption is simply wrong.

hsr->self_node is cleared in hsr_del_self_node(), which
is called from hsr_dellink().

Since dev->rtnl_link_ops->dellink() is called before
unregister_netdevice_many(), there is a window when
user can find the device but without hsr->self_node.

Let's remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self().

[0]:

EPSS: < 1% Very Low

Analysis

Impact

The issue originates in the High‑Speed Redundancy (HSR) driver where the function hsr_addr_is_self() contains a WARN_ONCE() check that can be triggered when the user's network link is being removed. The removal process clears the hsr->self_node pointer before the link deletion finishes, creating a window in which the driver may issue a warning without causing a condition but no direct evidence of memory corruption or system compromise is present.

Affected Systems

All Linux kernel versions that include the unpatched HSR driver are affected; the specific kernel releases are not enumerated in the data, so any build with the original hsr_addr_is_self() implementation remains at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.5, the score of <1% indicates a very low likelihood of publicly available exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation would likely require privileged local access to delete a network link or otherwise manipulate HSR state. The overall risk to production systems is low but not negligible, and is recommended to eliminate the race window and warning.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade to a kernel version that removes the WARN_ONCE check from hsr_addr_is_self(), such as the patch identified by commit 0232b6fcb7615fb7fecfe0727a23065a53e228b8.
If a kernel upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the HSR driver or bring affected HSR interfaces down before performing any link removal tasks to eliminate the race window.
Monitor system logs for HSR‑related warnings; if they appear frequently, consider disabling HSR entirely until the patched kernel is available.
