An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53246/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53246","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90624","BELL-CVE-2026-53246","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53246","GHSA-48jv-x8c6-486c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53246","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53246","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-53246","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53246","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53246","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53246"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SCTP","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can trigger out-of-bounds reads and memory corruption in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation by sending a malformed COOKIE_ECHO chunk.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"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.
