Vulnerabilities fixed in Linux kernel

Linux has patched vulnerabilities in the IPv4 TCP stack and the IPv4 networking subsystem of the Linux kernel. The first vulnerability involves a race condition in the IPv4 TCP stack that leads to a use-after-free of socket options during concurrent TCP SYN retransmissions or request socket...

kernel: ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker or untrusted guest virtual machine can exploit this vulnerability by transmitting network packets containing malformed checksum metadata into the IPv4 networking subsystem. This failure to validate checksum metadata can corrupt memory during...

CVE-2026-98303

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv4 networking subsystem. When looking up routes to send Internet Control Message Protocol ICMP error messages, the kernel fails to properly reject unreachable input routes. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by transmitting network packets that trigge...
