CVE-2026-98158

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Point-to-Point Protocol asynchronous pppasync driver. When handling corrupted network frames, the driver improperly reuses packet buffers without preserving the required memory headroom. A connected peer can exploit this flaw by sending a sequence of crafted...

CVE-2026-98158

The Linux kernel contains a vulnerability in the ppp_async component where the frame-error path in process_input_packet() incorrectly resets a reused skb's headroom to zero. This violates the NET_SKB_PAD guarantee, leading to a kernel panic (filter under-panic) or an out-of-bounds read when CCP c...
