{"cve":"CVE-2026-64422","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-25T10:17:26.213","modified":"2026-10-19T21:17:37.080","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: ipv4: bound TCP reordering sysctl writes and MTU probe sizes\n\nReject invalid `net.ipv4.tcp_reordering` values before they reach TCP\nsocket state. The sysctl is stored as an `int` but copied into the\n`u32` `tp->reordering` field for new sockets, so negative writes wrap\nto large values.\n\nWith `tcp_mtu_probing=2`, the wrapped value can overflow the\n`tcp_mtu_probe()` size calculation and drive the MTU probing path into\nan out-of-bounds read. Route `tcp_reordering` writes through\n`proc_dointvec_minmax()` and require it to be at least 1. Also require\n`tcp_max_reordering` to be at least 1 so the configured maximum cannot\nbecome negative either.\n\nWhen registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate\n`extra2` pointers that refer into `init_net.ipv4` so the\n`tcp_reordering` upper bound follows that namespace's\n`tcp_max_reordering`.\n\nHarden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`.\nThis keeps the send queue and window checks from being bypassed through\nsigned integer overflow.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27ddf4486c7dbf5bdd393fa8bef6b67179796d98","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/782708ca1ea1f68b8cbb5ea3a7f5f18d0000efae","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/99206ce2244f8a3ed64298d0667c9055845a5dc7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a094ac95d3b69adfa1676eb9c8eae6835d4f1671","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bbae351c0f32f7c200249e4aa6561b2b419dcf69"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64422","score":0.00138,"percentile":0.03184,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
