{"cve":"CVE-2026-53014","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-24T17:17:12.683","modified":"2026-07-15T13:55:35.227","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: act_mirred: fix wrong device for mac_header_xmit check in tcf_blockcast_redir\n\nIn tcf_blockcast_redir(), when iterating block ports to redirect\npackets to multiple devices, the mac_header_xmit flag is queried\nfrom the wrong device. The loop sends to dev_prev but queries\ndev_is_mac_header_xmit(dev) — which is the NEXT device in the\niteration, not the one being sent to.\n\nThis causes tcf_mirred_to_dev() to make incorrect decisions about\nwhether to push or pull the MAC header. When the block contains\nmixed device types (e.g., an ethernet veth and a tunnel device),\nintermediate devices get the wrong mac_header_xmit flag, leading to\nskb header corruption. In the worst case, skb_push_rcsum with an\nincorrect mac_len can exhaust headroom and panic.\n\nThe last device in the loop is handled correctly (line 365-366 uses\ndev_is_mac_header_xmit(dev_prev)), confirming this is a copy-paste\noversight for the intermediate devices.\n\nFix by using dev_prev instead of dev for the mac_header_xmit query,\nconsistent with the device actually being sent to.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4510d140524ca7d6e772db962e013f26f09a63b1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4764953c4b47585eb72797b216b63a831dc0c7e6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7db3e4e03032261b1b519341123fc30d995478ca","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fda5174286119addd28473fb2ec5bdf521c05a8"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53014","score":0.00162,"percentile":0.05345,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
