Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90110)
CWE-ID: CWE-330 - Use of Insufficiently Random Values
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 bypass IP-keyed ICMP rate limits and infer open UDP ports.
The vulnerability exists due to predictable tree ordering in the inetpeer rate limiting system when processing packets from remote IP addresses. A remote attacker can trigger garbage collection and selectively evict inet_peer entries to bypass IP-keyed ICMP rate limits and infer open UDP ports.
Re-created entries have their rate-limiting token buckets reset to full capacity.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
