Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel is the core of the open-source operating system Linux, developed by the Linux Foundation in the United States. There is a security vulnerability in the Linux kernel, which stems from a race condition in the reverse path handling during ICMP routing searches. This vulnerability ma...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the Linux operating system developed by the Linux Foundation in the United States. There is a security vulnerability in the Linux kernel, which arises from the lack of validation when ICMP reply types exceed the range of the icmppointers array, potentially...

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-021641 advisory. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: Fix icmp host relookup triggering iprtbug arp link failure may trigger iprtbug while xfrm...

EUVD-2026-29387

Issuing an ICMP ping via the net ping shell command to a device's own IPv4 address causes the network stack to recursively re-enter the input path on the same system work-queue stack. Because the destination is recognized as a local address, both the echo request and the resulting echo reply are...

CVE-2026-1681 net: Stack Overflow with Ping (to own IP Address) via Shell

Issuing an ICMP ping via the net ping shell command to a device's own IPv4 address causes the network stack to recursively re-enter the input path on the same system work-queue stack. Because the destination is recognized as a local address, both the echo request and the resulting echo reply are...

CVE-2026-43428

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB core. The usbcontrolmsg, usbbulkmsg, and usbinterruptmsg APIs allow for unlimited timeout durations. These APIs use uninterruptible waits, which can cause a task to hang indefinitely. This can lead to a denial of service DoS as the task cannot be...

EUVD-2026-28734

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts The usbcontrolmsg, usbbulkmsg, and usbinterruptmsg APIs in usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the...

Wireshark ICMPv6 Protocol Analyzer Heap Buffer Overflow DoS

The vulnerability of the dissecticmpv6ndopt function in the ICMPv6 protocol analyzer for computer network traffic analysis tool Wireshark is related to an uncontrolled recursion. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a attacker to cause service interruptions...

CVE-2026-43099

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: icmp: fix null-ptr-deref in icmpbuildprobe ipv6stub-ipv6devfind may return ERRPTR-EAFNOSUPPORT when the IPv6 stack is not active CONFIGIPV6=m and not loaded, and passing this error pointer to devhold will cause a kernel cra...

CVE-2026-43099

The CVE-2026-43099 issue affects the Linux kernel, specifically the IPv4/ICMP path and the IPv6 stub handling. When the IPv6 stack is not active (CONFIG_IPV6=m and not loaded), ipv6_dev_find() may return ERR_PTR(-EAFNOSUPPORT); passing that to dev_hold() can cause a null pointer dereference and a...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-43099

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - ipv4: icmp: fix null-ptr-deref in icmpbuildprobe ipv6stub-ipv6devfind may return ERRPTR-EAFNOSUPPORT when the IPv6 stack is not active CONFIGIPV6=m and not...

EUVD-2026-26636

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ip6tunnel: clear skb2-cb in ip4ip6err Oskar Kjos reported the following problem. ip4ip6err calls icmpsend on a cloned skb whose cb was written by the IPv6 receive path as struct inet6skbparm. icmpsend passes IPCBskb2 to...

CVE-2026-43037

RHEL 8 : ovn23.06 (RHSA-2026:11695)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:11695 advisory. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the existing capabilities of OVS to add...

CVE-2026-7423 Integer Underflow in ICMP Echo Reply Processing in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP

Integer underflow in the ICMP and ICMPv6 echo reply handlers in FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP before V4.4.1 and V4.2.6 allows an adjacent network user to cause a denial of service device crash when outgoing ping support is enabled, because header sizes are subtracted from a packet length field without...

ovn: ovn: Heap Over-Read in ICMP Error Response Generation

When generating an ICMP Destination Unreachable or Packet Too Big response, the handler copies a portion of the original packet into the ICMP error body using the IP header's self-declared total length iptotlen for IPv4, ip6plen for IPv6 without validating it against the actual packet buffer size...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: ovn25.03 security update

An update for ovn25.03 is now available for Fast Datapath for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each...
