Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43025)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the ctnetlink expectation handling code when processing netlink requests that create expectations with a helper different from the existing master conntrack helper. A remote user can send a specially crafted netlink request to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can allow reading kernel memory bytes beyond the expectation boundary.
