Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43503)

CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to modify the page cache of a root-owned read-only file.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in frag-transfer helpers in the Linux kernel networking stack when moving fragment descriptors between socket buffers. A local user can trigger packet processing through a duplicated skb path to modify the page cache of a root-owned read-only file.

One demonstrated path involves ESP input after a packet is duplicated through an nft 'dup to' rule or another nf_dup_ipv4() / xt_TEE caller.


2) Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46174)

CWE-ID: CWE-668 - Exposure of resource to wrong sphere

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause instruction corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper isolation of shared resources in Zen2 op cache when executing code on the system. A local user can run code locally to cause instruction corruption.


3) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46300)

CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in skb_try_coalesce() when transferring paged fragments during TCP receive coalescing. A local user can trigger packet processing that moves shared fragments into an unmarked skb to cause memory corruption.

The issue can lead ESP input to incorrectly treat an uncloned nonlinear skb as not having shared fragments and perform in-place decryption over externally owned or page-cache-backed fragments.
