Answer in brief
CVE-2026-23122 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in igc: Reduce TSN TX packet buffer from 7KB to 5KB per queue. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igc: Reduce TSN TX packet buffer from 7KB to 5KB per queue The previous 7 KB per queue caused TX unit hangs under heavy timestamping load. Reducing to 5 KB avoids these hangs and matches the TSN recommendation in I225/I226 SW User Manual Section 7.5.4. The 8 KB "freed" by this change is currently unused. This reduction is not expected to impact throughput, as the i226 is PCIe-limited for small TSN packets rather than TX-buffer-limited.
