CVE-2026-5071

CVE-2026-5071 affects Zephyr RTOS SocketCAN. A NET_ASSERT-based length check in zcan_sendto_ctx() allows out-of-bounds reads in socketcan_to_can_frame() when an attacker controls the length passed to a sendto syscall and assertions are disabled in production builds. Consequences include denial-of...

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...
