Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-23447

Published: April 6, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU124925
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23447
CWE-ID: CWE-125
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp32() when processing a crafted NDP32 structure in a received NTB. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted network packet to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because the DPE array size is validated against the total skb length without accounting for ndpoffset, allowing reads beyond the intended bounds when the NDP32 is placed near the end of the NTB.
