Incomplete Blacklist to Cross-Site Scripting in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-23321

Published: March 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU124536
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23321
CWE-ID: CWE-692
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the MPTCP subsystem when handling endpoint removal. A local user can send a specially crafted sequence of netlink commands to trigger a kernel warning and system instability.

The attacker must be able to create and remove MPTCP endpoints with specific flags and manipulate connection states, which requires access to the MPTCP netlink interface.
