Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46306)

CWE-ID: CWE-754 - Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

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 handling of compressed protocol fields in the PPPoE flow dissector in net/core/flow_dissector.c when processing PPPoE PFC frames. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted PPPoE PFC frame to cause a denial of service.

The issue can trigger an unaligned access exception on some architectures, and it was reproduced on MIPS systems with RPS enabled even when no PPPoE session was active on the interface.
