CVE-2026-31407CVE-2026-31407
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: add missing netlink policy validations
Hyunwoo Kim reports out-of-bounds access in sctp and ctnetlink.
These attributes are used by the kernel without any validation.
Extend the netlink policies accordingly.
Quoting the reporter:
nlattr_to_sctp() assigns the user-supplied CTA_PROTOINFO_SCTP_STATE
value directly to ct->proto.sctp.state without checking that it is
within the valid range. [..]
and: ... with exp->dir = 100, the access at
ct->master->tuplehash[100] reads 5600 bytes past the start of a
320-byte nf_conn object, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read confirmed by
UBSAN.
