Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53014)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to memory corruption in tcf_blockcast_redir in net/sched/act_mirred.c when redirecting packets to multiple devices in a block with mixed device types. A local user can trigger packet redirection through such a block to cause a denial of service.
In the worst case, an incorrect mac_len can exhaust skb headroom and panic the kernel.
