Improper control of a resource through its lifetime in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53266

Published: June 26, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU135488
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53266
CWE-ID: CWE-664
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 memory handling in the ebtables SNAT target ARP sender hardware address rewrite in net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_snat.c when processing ARP packets in bridge netfilter hooks. A local user can trigger ARP sender hardware address rewriting on a crafted nonlinear skb to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires the ARP sender hardware address rewrite path to be reached with a nonlinear skb fragment backed by a splice-imported file page.
