Improper access control in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-63914

Published: July 20, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU138734
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63914
CWE-ID: CWE-284
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in xfrm migrate notification handling in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c and net/key/af_key.c when broadcasting successful XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE or SADB_X_MIGRATE events across network namespaces. A local user can trigger a migration notification from a non-init network namespace to disclose sensitive information.

An IKE daemon running in the initial network namespace may receive migration notifications originating from other network namespaces, including selector, old and new endpoint addresses, and the km_address.
