CVE-2026-52981

EUVD-2026-38849
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

neigh: let neigh_xmit take skb ownership

neigh_xmit always releases the skb, except when no neighbour table is
found. But even the first added user of neigh_xmit (mpls) relied on
neigh_xmit to release the skb (or queue it for tx).

sashiko reported:
 If neigh_xmit() is called with an uninitialized neighbor table (for
 example, NEIGH_ND_TABLE when IPv6 is disabled), it returns -EAFNOSUPPORT
 and bypasses its internal out_kfree_skb error path.  Because the return
 value of neigh_xmit() is ignored here, does this leak the SKB?

Assume full ownership and remove the last code path that doesn't
xmit or free skb.
