If a user sets a minimum buffer\nsize larger than the maximum, the minimum check overrides the maximum\ncheck, inverting the constraint.\n\nThis breaks the intended socket memory boundaries by allowing the\nvsk->buffer_size to grow beyond the configured vsk->buffer_max_size.\n\nFix this by checking the minimum first, and then the maximum. This\nensures the buffer size never exceeds the buffer_max_size.","published":"2026-05-28T10:16:39.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-15T02:19:51.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00131,"percentile":0.02706,"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":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%).
