Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64553)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: 4.8 [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]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an information leak caused by improper clearing of padding bytes in PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA handling in net/psample/psample.c when copying packet data into a netlink attribute. A local user can trigger processing of packet data whose length is not divisible by 4 bytes to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because netlink attributes are padded to 4-byte boundaries.
