Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-68289

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142017

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-2026-68289

CWE-ID: CWE-190

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream() when processing oversized user-supplied buffer lengths. A local user can supply an excessively large buffer length via io_uring provided buffers to cause a denial of service.

The issue can trigger a WARN_ON that may lead to a kernel panic on systems configured with panic_on_warn.
