Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43329)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
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 improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in flowtable hardware offload action handling when processing IPv6 flowtable offload configurations with multiple actions. A remote attacker can trigger a flow configuration that exceeds the supported number of actions to cause a denial of service.
The issue can be reached in IPv6 setups involving combinations of ethernet mangling, NAT, double VLAN for QinQ, redirect, and tunnel-related actions.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-5450)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
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 execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to calling the scanf family of functions with a %mc (malloc'd character match) in the GNU C Library with a format width specifier with an explicit width greater than 1024 could result in a one byte heap buffer overflow. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31790)
CWE-ID: CWE-252 - Unchecked Return Value
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 incorrect failure handling in RSA KEM RSASVE encapsulation when processing an attacker-supplied invalid RSA public key with EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(). A remote attacker can supply an invalid RSA public key to disclose sensitive information.
The issue affects applications using RSA/RSASVE encapsulation without validating the supplied public key first.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53359)
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 KVM x86 shadow paging logic when changing a PDE mapping from outside the guest and deleting a memslot. A local user can trigger stale rmap entries and subsequent dereference of a freed sptep to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs when a modified PDE points to a non-leaf page, causing a role mismatch between reused shadow pages for large 2MB mappings and new 4KB mappings.
