Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52999)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause incorrect logging behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in nf_osf_match_one() in nfnetlink_osf when processing TCP option matching across multiple fingerprints. A remote attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to cause incorrect logging behavior.

The issue is triggered when NF_OSF_LOGLEVEL_ALL is configured and matching continues after an earlier fingerprint match.
