CVE-2026-80615
HighCVSS 8.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Linux kernel's tun_dst_unclone function, there is a false-positive memcpy overflow warning. The compiler with clang and source fortification estimates that options cannot fit into the structure, even though memory is actually allocated, causing a warning.
Risk Assessment
The warning can be misleading and lead to unnecessary alerts, but does not indicate a real buffer overflow.
Recommendation
Apply a kernel patch that performs the copy in two stages to avoid the false warning.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-80577Unknown
In the Linux kernel's drm/panthor driver, panthor_fw_load_section_entry() skips BO creation for zero-sized firmware sections but adds them to the section list, leading to NULL pointer dereference in later paths. The fix skips adding such sections to the list.
- CVE-2026-80571Unknown
In the Linux kernel powerpc/pseries papr-phy-attest, missing validation of cmd.length could lead to buffer overflow. The fix adds length checks and fixes memory leaks on error paths.
- CVE-2026-80567Unknown
In the Linux kernel Synaptics RMI4 driver (F54), worker errors were not propagated to the V4L2 queue, causing stale or uninitialized data to be delivered to userspace. The fix adds error checking and marks buffers as error state.
- CVE-2026-80566Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the hynitron_cstxxx driver improperly validated touch count and finger IDs. This can lead to corrupted touch state or out-of-bounds buffer access.
- CVE-2026-80564Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the gve driver lacks an implementation of adjfine, leading to a NULL pointer dereference when triggered from userspace, e.g., via testptp.
- CVE-2026-80563Unknown
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer driver. The 'trigger' debugfs file lacked proper protection, allowing a write to freed memory during device unbind. The issue was fixed by using debugfs_create_file() instead of debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
- CVE-2026-80543Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx() and xcrb_msg_to_type6_ep11cprb_msgx() functions for s390/zcrypt copy a user space message into a kernel buffer based on length, but further processing assumes 4-byte alignment. As a result, up to 3 bytes of uninitialized kernel memory are forwarded to further processing, potentially exposing kernel memory to the crypto card firmware.
- CVE-2026-80542Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the amdgpu driver for AMD Display has a NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_vblank() when vblank is enabled or queried before a stream is attached to acrtc_state->stream. This can lead to a system crash.
- CVE-2026-80535Unknown
In the Linux kernel XFS filesystem, during directory tree repair, a self-referential directory may be detected. In such a case, the repair code attempts to lock the same inode twice (double iolock/ilock), leading to a deadlock. The fix detects this corner case and handles it appropriately.
- CVE-2026-80533Unknown
In the Linux kernel XFS filesystem, during AGI repair, the function xrep_iunlink_walk_ondisk_bucket may attempt to use the pointer sc->sa.agi_bp, which can be null if the buffer verifier fails. The fix uses ragi->agi_bp instead, which skips verifier checks, to avoid walking off the end of memory.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dst_metadata: fix false-positive memcpy overflow in tun_dst_unclone kmalloc_flex() in metadata_dst_alloc() sets __counted_by for the structure to the options_len, which is then initialized to zero. Later, we're initializing the structure by copying the tunnel info together with the options, and this triggers a warning for a potential memcpy overflow, since the compiler estimates that the options can't fit into the structure, even though the memory for them is actually allocated. memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 104 byte write of buffer size 96 WARNING: CPU: X PID: Y at lib/string_helpers.c:1036 __fortify_report skb_tunnel_info_unclone+0x179/0x190 geneve_xmit+0x7fe/0xe00 The issue is triggered when built with clang and source fortification. Fix that by doing the copy in two stages: first - the main data with the options_len, then the options. This way the correct length should be known at the time of the copy. It would be better if the options_len never changed after allocation, but the allocation code is a little separate from the initialization and it would be awkward and potentially dangerous to return a struct with options_len set to a non-zero value from the metadata_dst_alloc(). Another option would be to use ip_tunnel_info_opts_set(), but it is doing too many unnecessary operations for the use case here.
