Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52917)

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 the SCTP sock_diag dump-one path when processing an exact association lookup after taking the socket lock on a stale association. A local user can trigger a stale association lookup to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs when association state is reaped or detached from the endpoint while the lookup path resumes after blocking on the socket lock.
