CVE-2026-72298
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: fix 32-bit integer overflow in qrtr_endpoint_post()
qrtr_endpoint_post() validates an incoming packet with
where size comes from the wire. On 32-bit, size_t is 32 bits and ALIGN(size, 4) wraps to 0 for size >= 0xfffffffd, so the check passes and skb_put_data(skb, data + hdrlen, size) writes past the hdrlen-sized skb and oopses the kernel. 64-bit is unaffected.
This is the 32-bit residual of ad9d24c9429e2 ("net: qrtr: fix OOB Read in qrtr_endpoint_post"), which fixed only the 64-bit case.
Reject any size that cannot fit the buffer before the ALIGN.

CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.4
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 7
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact75 % - Impacto secundario
T1565.001Stored Data Manipulationimpact60 %
Desbordamiento de enteros en kernel Linux (AV:L, PR:N, UI:N) permite escalada de privilegios o DoS. ALIGN() envuelve a 0 en 32-bit, escribiendo fuera de límites y causando crash (oops) o corrupción de memoria.
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.
