{"id":"CVE-2026-52934","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-52934","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T02:21:39.653Z","title":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: tvlv: reject oversized TVLV packets batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from the tvlv.container_list.","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbatman-adv: tvlv: reject oversized TVLV packets\n\nbatadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from\nthe tvlv.container_list. The total size of this section is computed by\nbatadv_tvlv_container_list_size(), which sums the sizes of all registered\ncontainers.\n\nThe return type and accumulator in batadv_tvlv_container_list_size() were\nu16. If the accumulated size exceeds U16_MAX, the value wraps around,\ncausing the subsequent allocation in batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append()\nto be undersized. The memcpy-style copy that follows would then write\nbeyond the end of the allocated buffer, corrupting kernel memory.\n\nFix this by widening the return type of batadv_tvlv_container_list_size()\nto size_t. In batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append(), check the computed length\nagainst U16_MAX before proceeding, and bail out as if the allocation had\nfailed when the limit is exceeded.","published":"2026-06-24T08:16:24.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-08T17:48:48.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00244,"percentile":0.15489,"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 (0.24%).
