RHSA-2026:87098 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.800000190734863 HIGH

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker or untrusted guest virtual machine can exploit this vulnerability by transmitting network packets containing malformed checksum metadata into the IPv4 networking subsystem. This failure to validate checksum metadata can corrupt memory during packet handling, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the host, a system crash resulting in Denial of Service (DoS), or information disclosure of sensitive memory.
