CVE-2026-68118

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of TCP Transmission Control Protocol connections. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted TCP Reset RST packet during the SYN-RECEIVED state. This could cause the system to prematurely remove connection requests instead of issuing a challen...

CVE-2026-68118

The CVE-2026-68118 issue affects the Linux kernel TCP stack: the SYN-RECEIVED path tcp_check_req() accepted in-window non-exact RSTs without exact SEG.SEQ match, causing the request to be removed instead of issuing a challenge ACK. The fix enforces RFC 9293/5961 order by applying the RST check be...
