CVE-2026-98568
NONEDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: use one headroom snapshot for neighbour replies
vxlan_na_create() samples LL_RESERVED_SPACE() to size the reply skb and then
samples it again to reserve headroom. A concurrent vxlan_changelink() can
update needed_headroom between the two reads, creating a TOCTOU race. The
second value can exceed the allocation and make the Ethernet header write out
of bounds.
The race is reproducible on the unpatched kernel. It occurred when
vxlan_na_create() generated a neighbour reply while vxlan_changelink() changed
the link headroom. KASAN caught a four-byte write two bytes beyond a 704-byte
skbuff_small_head allocation.
Snapshot the headroom once and use that value for both allocation and
reservation.
