Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74659)

CWE-ID: CWE-908 - Use of Uninitialized Resource

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to uninitialized memory exposure in br_mrp_alloc_test_skb() when constructing MRA MRP_Test frames. A remote attacker can trigger transmission of a specially crafted protocol frame to disclose sensitive information.

Three uninitialized bytes are present in each transmitted MRA MRP_Test frame because the sub-TLV length field and alignment padding are not initialized.
