Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53309)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information, modify data, or cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in dlm_match_regions() when comparing local and remote regions. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerable region comparison to disclose sensitive information, modify data, or cause a denial of service.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53224)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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 out-of-bounds read in SCTP cookie processing in sctp_unpack_cookie(), sctp_process_init(), and sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs() when handling a malformed COOKIE_ECHO containing a truncated embedded INIT chunk or malformed address parameters. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted COOKIE_ECHO to cause a denial of service.

When cookie authentication is disabled, an oversized raw address list length can also be used to trigger the out-of-bounds read condition.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53045)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 input validation in the tegra124 emc timing change logic when processing memory timing settings. A local user can provide a timing configuration with an incorrect DLL state check to cause a denial of service.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53043)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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 an out-of-bounds read in dlm_match_regions() when processing a crafted DLM_QUERY_REGION network message. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted network message to disclose sensitive information.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53002)

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-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 stack-based buffer overflow in the nf_nat_sip netfilter helper when processing crafted SIP/SDP messages. A remote attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered in mangle_content_len() during SIP message handling.


6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52914)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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 integer overflow in the batman-adv fragment reassembly logic when processing malformed fragment chains. A local user can send malformed fragments to cause a denial of service.


7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43071)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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 read in dentry_hashtable when processing lookups with dhash_entries set to 1. A local user can trigger filesystem lookup operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because a single hash bucket can cause an invalid shift calculation that leads to access of unallocated memory.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-50401)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the setup_callback_client() function in fs/nfsd/nfs4callback.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
