About this tag
The teql gre tunnel tag covers discussions about the Linux kernel's trivially extensible queuing layer (teql) combined with GRE tunnel devices, particularly in the context of security vulnerabilities. A recent thread on WindowsForum.com examines CVE-2026-23277, a NULL pointer dereference in the teql transmit path that occurs when a TEQL slave transmits through a tunnel device like gretap. The issue involves stale device context and missing per-CPU stats allocation, leading to a kernel page fault. Microsoft's Security Update Guide includes this CVE, indicating its relevance for enterprise patch management. The tag focuses on Linux networking stack bugs, kernel fixes, and the intersection of teql with tunnel interfaces.
