CVE-2026-74747 in Linux
الملخص
بحسب MITRE • 26/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: revalidate ihl to prevent out-of-bounds access
While the outer IP header is already pulled into the skb head, we must be careful and revalidate the embedded headers after reading them from the skb frags to prevent out-of-bounds access.
One such place reported by Sashiko is ip_vs_nat_icmp() where local process can change the ihl field and after skb_ensure_writable() we can see larger value which is a problem for the ip_send_check(cih) calls.
Add check to drop the packet if the ihl field is changed.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
