CVE-2026-74724 (GCVE-0-2026-74724)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-22 15:33 – Updated: 2026-08-25 05:42

Title

ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp Sashiko warns that local attacker can modify the packet while it is processed by IPVS. Some places read the IP ihl field multiple times which can cause out-of-bounds access. One such place is ip_vs_nat_icmp where we can write after the validated area. Fix it by providing ciph argument just like it is done for IPv6 and use ciph->len as offset to the embedded transport header. Modify some IPv4 header checks by reading the ihl field only once.

Severity

7.8 (High)

GHSA-QCCH-2R2R-XCW2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-22 18:30 – Updated: 2026-08-25 06:31

Details

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

ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp

Sashiko warns that local attacker can modify the packet while it is processed by IPVS. Some places read the IP ihl field multiple times which can cause out-of-bounds access. One such place is ip_vs_nat_icmp where we can write after the validated area.

Fix it by providing ciph argument just like it is done for IPv6 and use ciph->len as offset to the embedded transport header.

Modify some IPv4 header checks by reading the ihl field only once.

Severity

7.8 (High)
