{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-99196","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: au1000: move setting of netops to fix crash au1000_probe() calls au1000_mii_probe(), which connects the PHY, before dev->netdev_ops is assigned. phy_attach_direct() -> phy_link_topo_add_phy() reads dev->netdev_ops through netdev_need_ops_lock() since the commit in question, so probing crashes with a NULL pointer dereference when CONFIG_NET_SHAPER is enabled. Assign netdev_ops before the PHY attach, as was done for emac in commit 7c9f391ec89c (-net: emac: move setting of netops to fix crash-).","publishedAt":"2026-10-28T11:17:40","lastModifiedAt":"2026-10-28T11:17:40","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-99196","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":null,"epssProbability":0.00177,"riskScore":null,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-99196","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-99196","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-99196","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-99196","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-99196","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-99196","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-99196","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-99196"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-99196"}}
