Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53216

Published: June 26, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU135562
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53216
CWE-ID: CWE-787
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in the mvpp2 XDP receive path when processing packets with XDP tail adjustment on short RX buffers. A local user can trigger bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() on a packet to corrupt memory or cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the XDP frame size is initialized larger than the actual backing buffer size for short BM pool buffers.
