RHSA-2026:55763 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.800000190734863 HIGH

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 ICMP error generation. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted IPv4 ICMP error packet with a Common Internet Protocol Security Option (CIPSO) IP option. This could lead to incorrect handling of packet control block data when generating an IPv6 ICMP error, potentially causing an out-of-bounds memory access. This memory corruption could result in information disclosure or a denial of service.
