Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63857)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
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 an out-of-bounds read in airoha_dev_xmit() when processing fragmented socket buffers. A local user can trigger transmission of a crafted fragmented packet to cause a denial of service.
The unsafe read occurs during the final loop iteration when the loop index reaches the fragment count, which may trigger a page fault.
