Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43080

Published: May 7, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU130673
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-2026-43080
CWE-ID: CWE-190
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 an integer overflow in l2tp_xmit_core when processing oversized PPPoL2TP packets with UDP encapsulation. A local user can send an oversized packet to trigger a kernel warning and cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the UDP length field is 16-bit and the oversized length value is truncated.
