Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98384)

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

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in bpf_sock_destroy() when processing a timewait or request socket supplied by the TCP iterator. A local user can invoke bpf_sock_destroy() through a TCP iterator BPF program with such a socket to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.

The sk_protocol field belongs to struct sock and is not present in struct sock_common or the supplied socket objects.
