Search: CVE-2026-53246

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel SCTP protocol implementation was resolved by adding validation for the cached peer INIT chunk length during COOKIE_ECHO processing. The flaw allowed out-of-bounds reads and potential memory corruption due to lack of bounds checking on the cached INIT chunk length. This could lead to system compromise if exploited. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has been fixed in later releases. Users are advised to update and reboot to apply the fix.
