Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46150)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass permission checks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in fsnotify_get_mark_safe() when processing fanotify permission events. A local user can trigger permission events in the presence of an unrelated detached mark to bypass permission checks.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64423)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 a use-after-free in the IGMP multicast group handling in net/ipv4/igmp.c when destroying a device while concurrent RCU readers traverse the multicast hash table. A local user can trigger multicast group membership operations and concurrent network processing to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because multicast group entries can remain reachable through the device multicast hash table during RCU reclamation.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64564)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 use-after-free in sctp_process_asconf_param() when processing crafted SCTP ASCONF DEL-IP parameters. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted SCTP ASCONF message to cause a denial of service.

The issue can occur when a single ASCONF carries DEL-IP parameters that free the cached transport and a later wildcard DEL-IP reuses the dangling transport pointer.
