Later, the code calls skb_ensure_writable(),\nwhich might reallocate the buffer:\n\n\tif (skb_ensure_writable(skb, optoff + 2 + hdr->opt_len))\n\t\tgoto drop;\n\n\t/* Trace pointer may have changed */\n\ttrace = (struct ioam6_trace_hdr *)(skb_network_header(skb)\n\t\t\t\t\t   + optoff + sizeof(*hdr));\n\n\tioam6_fill_trace_data(skb, ns, trace, true);\n\n\tioam6_event(IOAM6_EVENT_TRACE, dev_net(skb->dev),\n\t\t    GFP_ATOMIC, (void *)trace, hdr->opt_len - 2);\n\nIf the skb is cloned or lacks sufficient linear headroom,\nskb_ensure_writable() will invoke pskb_expand_head(), which reallocates\nthe skb's data buffer and frees the old one, invalidating pointers to\nit. While the code recalculates the trace pointer immediately after the\ncall to skb_ensure_writable(), it fails to recalculate the hdr pointer.\n\nThis patch fixes the above by recalculating the hdr pointer before\npassing hdr->opt_len to ioam6_event(), so that we avoid any UaF.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24de676da63c1122d2c13b0d546238b66d1b4e62","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5af905aa8e91ff8d94572a1e089558f21dcf24ed","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/769723124b7c3b2bfea4cf68ad292698b87c8d01","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e46e6bc97fb1f339730ff1ba74267fbf48e7a422"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64132","score":0.00491,"percentile":0.42197,"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).
