Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53223)

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

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L/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 generic timestamp cmsg path in net/socket.c when processing timestamped messages for AF_PACKET sockets. A local user can send or receive crafted packets on an AF_PACKET socket to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires timestamping to be enabled, and information disclosure can occur when SO_RXQ_OVFL is enabled and a non-linear skb is processed.
