CVSS 3.1
7.8 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2026-68440
High (7.8). EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: txgbe: fix heap overflow when reading module EEPROM
txgbe_read_eeprom_hostif() always copies round_up(length, 4) bytes
into the caller buffer, which ethtool allocates with exactly 'length'
bytes. A non-4-aligned length therefore causes an out-of-bounds write.
Copy only the remaining bytes on the final dword instead.
