A zero shift operand turns this\ninto a 32-bit shift, which is undefined behaviour.\n\nReject zero shift operands in the control plane, alongside the existing\ncheck for values greater than or equal to 32, so malformed rules never\nreach the packet path.","published":"2026-05-27T14:17:32.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-15T02:19:43.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00129,"percentile":0.02499,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.13%).
