Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43186)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in __ioam6_fill_trace_data() when processing a crafted incoming IPv6 IOAM packet on the receive path. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.

A packet with an inconsistent nodelen field and type bits can trigger an out-of-bounds write of about 100 bytes into adjacent heap memory.
