Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fixes: kernel: sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling CVE-2026-52924 kernel: scsi: target: iscsi: Validate CHAPR length before base64 decode CVE-2026-63886 kernel: netfilter: conntrack: tcp:...

The vulnerability of the conntrack mechanism for monitoring network connections in the netfilter component of the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a perpetrator to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the conntrack mechanism for monitoring network connections in the netfilter component of the Linux operating system’s kernel is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to compromise the confidentiality,...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, Linux, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: conntrack: dccp: copying the entire header to the stack buffer, not just the basic header Eric Dumazet states that: nfconntrackdccppacket has a unique mechanism: dh = skbheaderpointerskb, dataoff, sizeofdh, &dh; And...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: netfilter: conntrack: Hash resizes and cleanup operations need to be executed serially. Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning 1. No reprocessing occurred by Syzbot yet, but I was able to trigger a similar issue by...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 6.1, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: Bridge: Multicast packets must be confirmed before being passed up the stack. The conntrack/nfconfirm logic does not handle cloned skb objects that reference the same nfct entry. This issue occurs when dealing with...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: conntrack: Avoid using the nfcthelperhash after the free operation. If the nfconntrackinitstart function fails e.g., due to a registernfconntrackbpf failure, the nfconntrackhelperfini cleanup routine frees the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux, Linux 5.15

A memory leak issue was discovered in the ctnetlinkcreateconntrack function within net/netfilter/nfconntracknetlink.c in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAPNETADMIN privileges to trigger a Denial-of-Service DoS attack due to a refcount overflow...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: brnetfilter: Skip the conntrack input hook for promiscuous packets. Due to historical reasons, when a bridge device is in promiscuous mode, packets directed to the taps follow the bridge’s input hook path. This patch...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux, Linux 5.15

A out-of-bounds read vulnerability was discovered in Netfilter Connection Tracking conntrack within the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information through the DCCP protocol...

CVE-2026-74715

A flaw was found in the kernel. A reference imbalance vulnerability exists in the Berkeley Packet Filter BPF conntrack kfuncs. This occurs when the 'opts' argument, which can point to a shared map value, has its network namespace identifier netnsid read separately during reference acquisition and...

CVE-2026-74624

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component. Specifically, the TCP and SCTP connection tracking conntrack paths can attempt to log invalid packets while a critical lock is still held. If invalid logging is routed to nfnetlinklog and conntrack export is enabled, this can lead to a...

CVE-2026-74625

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter bridge component. This vulnerability allows for a memory leak when the system processes non-IPv4 and non-IPv6 network traffic through a bridge nftables connection tracking rule. The system fails to release an existing connection tracking template...

SUSE CVE-2026-74715

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs The opts argument of the BPF conntrack kfuncs can point to a shared map value. bpfnfctlookup and bpfnfctallocentry read opts-netnsid separately when acquiring and releasing t...
