CVE-2026-74668

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path

tpacket_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len independently for skb allocation and header construction in tpacket_fill_skb(). Concurrent netdevice reconfiguration can therefore make the reserved headroom smaller than the amount later pushed, or make copylen - hard_header_len negative.

Snapshot hard_header_len once before processing ring frames and use it for the frame limit, headroom allocation, copy length, and skb construction. Pass the snapshot to tpacket_fill_skb().

The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and header_ops->create is not addressed here.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad local de race condition en kernel Linux (AV:L, PR:L) que permite escalada de privilegios mediante manipulación concurrente de hard_header_len en TX_RING. El impacto es negación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) y potencial manipulación de datos de red.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
