{"id":"AZL-99629","summary":"CVE-2026-80905 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: tap: fix wrong transport_header when sending VLAN-tagged frame\n\nIn tap_get_user_xdp(), when processing a VLAN-tagged frame (e.g.\nETH_P_8021Q), skb_set_network_header() is called first to advance\nnetwork_header past the VLAN tag to the inner protocol header.\nskb_probe_transport_header() is then called with skb-\u003eprotocol still\nset to ETH_P_8021Q, while nhoff (derived from skb_network_offset())\nalready points past the VLAN tag to the inner protocol header.\n\nIn __skb_flow_dissect(), proto is initialized to ETH_P_8021Q and nhoff\npoints past the VLAN tag. When the dissector hits case ETH_P_8021Q, it\nreads a struct vlan_hdr at the current nhoff via __skb_header_pointer(),\nbut that offset contains the inner protocol header (e.g. an IP header).\nThe bytes are misinterpreted as a VLAN header, yielding a garbage\nencapsulated EtherType that matches no known protocol. The dissector\nreturns false, so skb_probe_transport_header() never calls\nskb_set_transport_header(), leaving transport_header at its uninitialized\nsentinel value (~0U).\n\nMove skb_set_network_header() to after skb_probe_transport_header(). At\nthe time skb_probe_transport_header() is called, network_header still\npoints to the VLAN header (offset ETH_HLEN), so nhoff is correct and the\nflow dissector can parse the VLAN header, extract the inner EtherType,\nand advance nhoff to the inner protocol header, allowing transport_header\nto be set correctly.","modified":"2026-09-05T14:17:04.653964591Z","published":"2026-09-04T18:18:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-80905"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-80905"}],"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-99629.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
