Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52927)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in compat_mtw_from_user in the ebtables netfilter subsystem when converting 32-bit user-supplied extension structures to native kernel structures. A local user can provide a crafted match or target size smaller than the extension requires to disclose sensitive information.

The issue affects extensions that rely on compat_from_user callbacks, which assume they can read the required compat size.
