CVE-2026-5071

The CVE-2026-5071 entry concerns the SocketCAN implementation (Zephyr context) where a user-provided buffer containing a socketcan_frame is validated only by a NET_ASSERT in zcan_sendto_ctx() and then dereferenced in socketcan_to_can_frame(). In production builds with assertions disabled, a users...

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fixes: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: Validate buffer length while parsing index indxread is called when we have some NTFS directory operations that need more information from the index...

SUSE CVE-2026-46185

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in symlinkdata Since smb2checkmessage returns success without length validation for the symlink error response, in symlinkdata it is possible for iov-iovlen to be smaller than sizeofstruct...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-46185

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in symlinkdata Since smb2checkmessage returns success without length validation for the symlink error response, in symlinkdat...

CVE-2026-46185

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block SMB client. This vulnerability arises from insufficient length validation in the smb2checkmessage function when processing symlink error responses. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted symlink error respons...

CVE-2026-46186

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: virtiobt: validate rx pkttype header length virtbtrxhandle reads the leading pkttype byte from the RX skb and forwards the remainder to hcirecvframe for every event/ACL/SCO/ISO type, without checking that the remaining...

CVE-2026-46140

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btmtk: validate WMT event SKB length before struct access btmtkusbhciwmtsync casts the WMT event response SKB data to struct btmtkhciwmtevt 7 bytes and struct btmtkhciwmtevtfuncc 9 bytes without first checking that the...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46123

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: virtiobt: clamp rx length before skbput virtbtrxwork calls skbputskb, len where len comes directly from virtqueuegetbuf with no validation against the buffer we posted to the device. The RX skb is allocated in...

CVE-2026-46186

The CVE-2026-46186 issue affects the Linux kernel Bluetooth virtio_bt driver. In virtbt_rx_handle(), the driver reads the leading pkt_type from the RX skb and forwards the remaining payload to hci_recv_frame() for all packet types (event/ACL/SCO/ISO) without verifying that the payload is large en...

CVE-2026-46185

The CVE-2026-46185 issue affects the Linux kernel SMB client. The root cause is insufficient length validation in smb2_check_message() when processing symlink error responses, allowing a symlink_data() path to read beyond the buffer if iov_len is smaller than the 64-byte SMB2 header and accessing...

CVE-2026-46146 ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid potential endless loop in convert_chmap_v3()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid potential endless loop in convertchmapv3 The convertchmapv3 has a loop with its increment size of csdesc-wLength, but we forgot to validate csdesc-wLength itself, which may lead to potential endless loop by...

CVE-2026-46140

The CVE affects Linux kernel Bluetooth btmtk code. btmtk_usb_hci_wmt_sync() casts WMT event response SKB data to btmtk_hci_wmt_evt (7 bytes) and btmtk_hci_wmt_evt_funcc (9 bytes) without verifying that the SKB contains enough data, causing out-of-bounds reads from SKB tailroom when a short firmwa...
