Overview

Description
Proposed Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) (IETF Draft) do not validate or verify the source of a network packet allowing an attacker to spoof and route arbitrary traffic via an exposed network interface that can lead to spoofing, access control bypass, and other unexpected network behaviors. This can be considered similar to CVE-2020-10136.

In the kmem_cache_free_bulk() path, we do call alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook(). However, in memcg_alloc_abort_single() we don't, the above warning will be triggered on the next allocation. Therefore, add alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook() to the memcg_alloc_abort_single() path.CVE-2026-23219
