GHSA-VF8C-65H3-589V
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 09:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 09:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes
The VXLAN VNI filter entry policy declares the GROUP/GROUP6 address attributes as NLA_BINARY with only a maximum length, so validate_nla() accepts a payload shorter than the address. The GROUP consumer reads it with nla_get_in_addr(), an unconditional 4-byte load, so a short attribute over-reads up to 3 bytes of uninitialised slab data, which are stored into remote_ip and echoed back via RTM_GETTUNNEL, disclosing kernel memory.
Switch both entries to NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() so the validator rejects any GROUP/GROUP6 that is not exactly 4 / 16 bytes; a valid address is always sent at full width.
