LIN1025-17039 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-64009

Created: Aug 1, 2026    Updated: Aug 11, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  xfrm: Check for underflow in xfrm_state_mtu  Leo Lin reported OOB write issue in esp component:    xfrm_state_mtu() returns u32 but performs its arithmetic in unsigned   modulo-2^32 space using an attacker-influenced "header_len + authsize +   net_adj" subtracted from a small "mtu" argument. A nobody user can   install an IPv4 ESP tunnel SA with a large authentication key   (XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC, e.g. hmac(sha512), 64-byte key, 64-byte trunc),   configure a small interface MTU (68 bytes), and set XFRMA_TFCPAD to a   large value. When a single UDP datagram is then sent through the   tunnel, xfrm_state_mtu() underflows to a near-2^32 value, and   esp_output() consumes it as a signed int via:          padto      = min(x->tfcpad, xfrm_state_mtu(x, mtu_cached))         esp.tfclen = padto - skb->len   (assigned to int)    esp.tfclen ends up negative (e.g. -207). It is sign-extended to size_t   when passed to memset() inside esp_output_fill_trailer(), producing a   ~16 EB write of zeroes at skb_tail_pointer(skb). KASAN logs it as   "Write of size 18446744073709551537 at addr ffff888...".  Check for underflow and return 1. This causes the sendmsg attempt to fail with ENETUNREACH.
