Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74282)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
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 an integer underflow in tipc_sk_conn_proto_rcv() when processing a CONN_MANAGER/CONN_ACK message. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted connection acknowledgment with an oversized ack count to cause a denial of service.
For a local connection, the connected peer socket can trigger the issue.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
