{"id":"AZL-90624","summary":"CVE-2026-53246 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: validate cached peer INIT chunk length in COOKIE_ECHO processing\n\nWhen a listening SCTP server processes a COOKIE_ECHO chunk, the cached\npeer INIT chunk embedded after the cookie is parsed and its parameters\nare later walked by sctp_process_init() using sctp_walk_params().\n\nHowever, the chunk header length of this cached INIT chunk was not\nvalidated against the remaining buffer in the COOKIE_ECHO payload. If\nthe length field is inflated, the parameter walk can run beyond the\nactual received data, leading to out-of-bounds reads and potential\nmemory corruption during later parameter handling (e.g. STATE_COOKIE\nprocessing and kmemdup() copies).\n\nAdd a bounds check in sctp_unpack_cookie() to ensure the cached INIT\nchunk length does not exceed the available data in the COOKIE_ECHO\nbuffer before it is used.","modified":"2026-08-30T05:26:50Z","published":"2026-06-25T09:16:42Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53246"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53246"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-90624.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
