A peer that sends a well-formed reply carrying an\nunknown XID and an inflated credit grant therefore drives rep\nallocation and Receive posting past re_max_requests on every such\nreply.\n\nMove the clamp to immediately after the credit field is parsed,\nahead of the first branch that can reach out_post, so every later\nconsumer sees a sanitized value. The cwnd update stays on the\nmatched-request path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33db78b1b24fc6a464ae08aa4d2538c5f883eb5e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41634242140173eabbf54f899f9c70b5c685e786","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/469b22376ee73369711ecf2761bd122ef4195963","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cf332b3d82d73ffceedca6b4a120be074172021","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8be1bb378def94a5cb8f7527a191e476407118ec"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72465","score":0.00684,"percentile":0.52586,"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).
