Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: octeon: add missing napi_disable in cvm_oct_rx_shutdown
cvm_oct_rx_shutdown calls free_irq and netif_napi_del without
disabling the napi instance first. As the free_irq only waits
for completion of hard interrupt handlers, the napi poll
function could still be active. If cvm_oct_remove proceeds to
free the plat structure (which holds the NAPI instances), the
active poll function will access freed memory, resulting in a
use-after-free crash.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-93278 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
