Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53249)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

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 improper access control in ip_options_get() in net/ipv4/ip_options.c when setting IPv4 Loose Source and Record Route or Strict Source and Record Route options. A local user can set crafted IP options to force packets through attacker-controlled nodes to disclose sensitive information.

Exposure depends on network paths that support and forward these IPv4 options.
