kernel: net/sched: act_pedit: extend the writable skb range per key

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control packet editing pedit subsystem. In tcfpeditact, the copy-on-write COW range for skbensurewritable is computed once before iterating over edit keys, but the calculation does not account for runtime header offsets added by typed keys. This can...

New Linux pedit COW Exploit Enables Root Access by Poisoning Cached Binaries

A flaw in the Linux kernel's traffic-control subsystem can let a local unprivileged user gain root on affected systems. CVE-2026-46331, nicknamed "pedit COW ," is an out-of-bounds write in the packet-editing action actpedit that corrupts shared page-cache memory. A public, working exploit appeare...
