Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72399)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 write in enetc_xdp_xmit when processing xdp_frame structures with too many fragments. A local user can provide a crafted xdp_frame with more fragments than ENETC_MAX_SKB_FRAGS to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because the xdp_redirect_arr array is sized to ENETC_MAX_SKB_FRAGS while an xdp_frame may contain a greater number of fragments.
Remediation
