Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71116)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the decode_pool() function in net/ceph/osdmap.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22984)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the process_auth_done() function in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22990)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the osdmap_apply_incremental() function in net/ceph/osdmap.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23455)
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 DecodeQ931() in the nf_conntrack_h323 netfilter component when parsing a crafted Q.931 packet with a zero UserUserIE length field. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to disclose sensitive information.
The issue occurs because a 16-bit length value is decremented by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator byte, and an encoded length of 0 wraps to -1 and is then passed to DecodeH323_UserInformation() as a large value.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43125)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree() when processing network messages with an excessive resource name length. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted network message to cause a denial of service.
The length value originates from the len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name().
6) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43329)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in flowtable hardware offload action handling when processing IPv6 flowtable offload configurations with multiple actions. A remote attacker can trigger a flow configuration that exceeds the supported number of actions to cause a denial of service.
The issue can be reached in IPv6 setups involving combinations of ethernet mangling, NAT, double VLAN for QinQ, redirect, and tunnel-related actions.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46090)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the ALSA aloop peer runtime handling when processing a format-change stop during concurrent stream operations. A local user can trigger concurrent playback start and capture close operations to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because a stale peer substream pointer may be used after the capture runtime is detached or freed.
8) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45852)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to double free in rxe_srq_from_init in the RDMA rxe subsystem when handling a failed copy_to_user operation during SRQ creation. A local user can trigger an error path to cause a denial of service.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46227)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free and type confusion in sctp_sendmsg() SCTP_SENDALL path when iterating associations after sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() drops and reacquires the socket lock. A local user can trigger concurrent association migration or freeing to execute arbitrary code.
The issue is reachable with no effective capabilities, and the type-confusion path can lead to a controlled indirect call via the outqueue.sched->init_sid pointer.
