Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80590)

CWE-ID: CWE-670 - Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation

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 improper handling of gso metadata in inet fragment reassembly when processing crafted IP fragments with attached GSO state. A local user can write specially crafted packets to a tap device to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered by an unprivileged user in its own user namespace, and it may also be reachable in environments where virtio_net_hdr metadata is forwarded to a tap device or where CAP_NET_RAW is available in a network namespace.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
