Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53225)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in __sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup() in net/sctp/input.c when processing a truncated trailing ASCONF chunk containing a declared IPv6 address parameter. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted SCTP packet to disclose sensitive information.
The issue is reachable from the no-association lookup path.
Remediation
