Description

1) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63926)
CWE-ID: CWE-682 - Incorrect Calculation
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper offset calculation in bpf_msg_push_data() in the sockmap BPF subsystem when inserting data into the middle of a scatterlist entry. A local user can trigger the inconsistent split layout to cause a denial of service.
Exploitation requires access to BPF sockmap functionality.
