Linux kernel act_ct function Heap Buffer Overflow DoS

The vulnerability in the tcfctflowtableget function within net/sched/actct.c, a part of the net/sched traffic control subsystem in the Linux kernel, is related to improper memory deallocation. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity,...

CVE-2026-72057

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem, specifically within the actct module. This vulnerability occurs when the kernel processes fragmented network traffic, failing to correctly preserve essential packet metadata. An attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted...

CVE-2026-46319

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A race condition in the actct module, specifically during the flow table lookup, can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability. This occurs because a critical lock is released prematurely, allowing a memory object to be freed while still in use. An attacker...

Linux net/sched/act_ct.c Function Heap Buffer Overflow DoS

The vulnerability of the tcfcthandlefragments function in the net/sched/actct.c module of the net/sched/networking subsystem of the Linux operating system is related to insufficient checking of exceptional states. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in Linux kernel that stems from the actct module not releasing old ct entry references when switching region or network namespaces, which could...

CVE-2021-47014

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: actct: fix wild memory access when clearing fragments while testing re-assembly/re-fragmentation using actct, it's possible to observe a crash like the following one: KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range...
