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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the iucv_sock_recvmsg() function in net/iucv/af_iucv.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56763)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the tracing_cpumask_write() function in kernel/trace/trace.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-38724)

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 nfsd4_setclientid_confirm() function in fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.

9) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43456)

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

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 type confusion in bond_setup_by_slave() when handling header operations for a bonded non-Ethernet slave device. A local user can enslave a non-Ethernet device such as a GRE tunnel to a bond and trigger packet transmission to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered because header callbacks from the slave device are invoked with the bond device context, causing device-specific private data to be interpreted as the wrong type.

10) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52910)

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 the reuseport cBPF program handling in sk_reuseport_prog_free() when detaching or replacing a reuseport program while UDP packets are being processed concurrently. A local user can trigger concurrent reuseport program updates and packet transmission to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the classic BPF reuseport program may be freed before RCU readers have completed.

11) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53131)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 input validation in netfilter Ethernet header handling when processing packets that reach ip6t_eui64, xt_mac, ipset bitmap:ip,mac, hash:ip,mac, hash:mac, or nf_log_syslog code paths without a valid Ethernet MAC header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because these paths access eth_hdr(skb) after insufficient validation that the skb is associated with an Ethernet device and that a full MAC header is present.

12) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53221)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause traffic to be associated with the wrong tunnel.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in vti6_tnl_lookup() when matching IPv6 VTI tunnels during fallback wildcard tunnel searches. A remote attacker can send network traffic that triggers a hash collision and incorrect tunnel selection to cause traffic to be associated with the wrong tunnel.

The issue occurs because candidate tunnels in the fallback search were not verified to actually use wildcard local or remote addresses.
