Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43329)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in flowtable hardware offload action handling when processing IPv6 flowtable offload configurations with multiple actions. A remote attacker can trigger a flow configuration that exceeds the supported number of actions to cause a denial of service.
The issue can be reached in IPv6 setups involving combinations of ethernet mangling, NAT, double VLAN for QinQ, redirect, and tunnel-related actions.
