CVE-2026-63999 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ethtool: rss: fix indir_table and hkey leak on get_rxfh failure rss_prepare_get() allocates the indirection table and hash key buffer via rss_get_data_alloc(), then calls ops->get_rxfh() to populate them. If get_rxfh() fails, the function returns an error without freeing the allocation.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
