Summary
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the TIPC broadcast mechanism allows an out-of-bounds read. The tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() function fails to verify that the Gap ACK block record fits within the message data area, enabling an attacker to trigger a kmemdup() read beyond the allocated skb buffer.
Risk Assessment
An adjacent TIPC node can send a crafted broadcast message, causing a read beyond the allocated skb buffer. This may lead to sensitive data leakage or system instability.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds record size validation against msg_data_sz() in tipc_bcast_sync_rcv().
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-80923Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in the xhci: dbgtty driver, if tty_register_driver() fails, it drops the reference but fails to set the global dbc_tty_driver to NULL, causing the unregister to be called again when the module exits. This leads to a use-after-free condition.
- CVE-2026-80922Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in the crypto: qcom-rng module, the random number generator does not allow zero as an output, making its output distinguishable from truly random. Zero is a valid random number and should be allowed.
- CVE-2026-80920Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in io_uring, eventfd signaling is done inline when adding the first entry to the work list, which can cause issues when the addition is done from a wakeup handler context. The fix adds the IOU_F_TWQ_IN_WAKE flag to force deferral of signaling via call_rcu_hurry() instead of inline signaling.
- CVE-2026-80919Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the amdgpu driver where amdgpu_devcoredump_format() recursively acquires a ww_mutex lock. This can lead to a deadlock when dumping IB contents from a hung job. The fix moves the operation to a separate helper using a single drm_exec context.
- CVE-2026-80918Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in HID: core, there is a number/pointer type confusion on long items. When fetch_item() is called by hid_scan_report() on an item with HID_ITEM_TAG_LONG, it stores a pointer to the item data in item->data.longdata instead of storing a value directly. Functions item_udata() and item_sdata() incorrectly assume short format, leading to the lower part of a kernel pointer being printed as a number in dmesg.
- CVE-2026-80917Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel causes a NULL pointer dereference in the PCI host-generic driver on 32-bit systems using CAM mode. During PCI bus enumeration, the first config read uses an uninitialized mapping, leading to a kernel panic. The issue stems from missing add_bus/remove_bus callbacks in the CAM operations, which are necessary for proper mapping of the config space.
- CVE-2026-80916Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's KCOV mechanism causes data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT systems. The issue stems from storing temporary KCOV state in per-CPU areas, which can be overwritten by nested softirq preemption. Additionally, under certain initialization conditions, it may lead to kernel panic or memory leaks.
- CVE-2026-80915Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the drm/xe driver's DPT allocation paths were fixed. The fallback from VRAM to system memory was removed as it did not work and caused black screen with pipe faults. Also, stolen memory usage is avoided due to latency and risk of random system hangs under load.
- CVE-2026-80886Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the msm serial driver was fixed by disabling DMA for the console UART. Concurrent writes from userspace and the kernel can trigger a race condition resulting in an infinite loop of the same messages. The fix disables DMA for the console UART to ensure a reliable output path.
- CVE-2026-80885Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a fix was made for an uncancelled rxrpc OOB message handler in AFS. The fix cancels OOB message processing (typically to respond to security challenges) and moves it to afs_wq so it is also waited for. The OOB handler now returns if the net namespace is no longer live.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix out-of-bounds read in broadcast Gap ACK blocks A broadcast PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG can carry a Gap ACK blocks record in its data area. tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() only verifies that the record's len field is self-consistent with its ugack_cnt/bgack_cnt counts (sz == struct_size(p, gacks, ugack_cnt + bgack_cnt)); it does not check that the record actually fits in the message data area, msg_data_sz(). The unicast caller tipc_link_proto_rcv() bounds it ("if (glen > dlen) break;"), but the broadcast caller tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() discards the returned size, so tipc_link_advance_transmq() copies the record off the receive skb with an attacker-controlled count: this_ga = kmemdup(ga, struct_size(ga, gacks, ga->bgack_cnt), GFP_ATOMIC); A TIPC neighbour that negotiated TIPC_GAP_ACK_BLOCK triggers it with one ordinary broadcast STATE_MSG (msg_bc_ack_invalid() clear), sized so its data area is short, carrying a Gap ACK record with len = 0x400, bgack_cnt = 0xff and ugack_cnt = 0. len then equals struct_size(p, gacks, 255), so the consistency check passes and ga is non-NULL; kmemdup() reads struct_size(ga, gacks, 255) = 1024 bytes out of the much smaller skb: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60 Read of size 1024 at addr ffff0000c7030d38 by task poc864/69 Call trace: kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60 tipc_link_advance_transmq+0x86c/0xb80 tipc_link_bc_ack_rcv+0x19c/0x1e0 tipc_bcast_sync_rcv+0x1c4/0x2c4 tipc_rcv+0x85c/0x1340 tipc_l2_rcv_msg+0xac/0x104 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000c7030d00 which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704 The buggy address is located 56 bytes inside of allocated 704-byte region [ffff0000c7030d00, ffff0000c7030fc0) The copied-out bytes are subsequently consumed as gap/ack values, but the read is already out of bounds at the kmemdup() regardless of how they are used. The unicast STATE path drops such a message: "if (glen > dlen) break;" skips the rest of STATE_MSG handling and the skb is freed. Make the broadcast path drop it too. tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() now bounds the record against msg_data_sz() and, when it does not fit, reports it back through tipc_node_bc_sync_rcv() to tipc_rcv() so the skb is discarded rather than processed. ga is not cleared on this path: ga == NULL already means "legacy peer without Selective ACK", a distinct legitimate state.
