kernel: net: sched: UAF via missing handler for TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control TC classifier application programming interface API. The tcfqeventhandle function does not properly handle a consumed socket buffer skb when it is processed by the defragmentation engine. This can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability,...

Researcher Says AI Helped Develop Linux Traffic-Control Race Into Root Exploit

STAR Labs has published a Linux kernel exploit that turns an ordinary local user into root on the CentOS Stream 9 build it targeted. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-53264 CVSS score: 7.8, is a use-after-free race in the kernel's network traffic-control subsystem. Researcher Lee Jia Jie said...

CVE-2026-64530

SUSE CVE-2026-64530

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: clsapi: Handle TCACTCONSUMED in tcfqeventhandle tcfclassify can return TCACTCONSUMED while the skb is held by the defragmentation engine e.g. actct on out-of-order fragments. When that happens the skb is no longer owne...

CVE-2026-63983 net/sched: fix packet loop on netem when duplicate is on

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fix packet loop on netem when duplicate is on When netem duplicates a packet it re-enqueues the copy at the root qdisc. If another netem sits in the tree the copy can be duplicated again, recursing until the stack or...

CVE-2026-63983

The CVE-2026-63983 entry concerns the Linux kernel net/sched component with netem, where duplicating a packet could cause recursive duplication loops in the qdisc tree, potentially exhausting stack or memory. Root cause: the old duplication guard invalidly zeroed q->duplicate around re-enqueue...

kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free in traffic control (act_ct) may lead to denial of service or privilege escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the traffic control actct path when it is incorrectly configured with non-ingress egress qdiscs queueing disciplines. This can allow a local user with specific privileges to trigger a kernel crash, leading to a denial ...

RHEL 8 : kernel (RHSA-2026:35863)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:35863 advisory. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fixes: kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free ...

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...

CVE-2026-53014

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When the kernel's traffic control TC subsystem processes network packets for redirection across different types of network devices, it can incorrectly handle packet headers. This can lead to corruption of network packet data. A local attacker could potentiall...

CVE-2026-53080

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control firewall classifier clsfw module. An attacker with the ability to create traffic control filters could exploit a vulnerability where an invalid filter, created using an older method, is processed before proper validation. This can lead to a...
