The destination skb is sized by the declared payload,\nso the write side does not overflow - this is a pure OOB read /\ninformation leak, reachable with CAP_NET_ADMIN on systems with a\nregistered NCSI device (e.g. OpenBMC on Aspeed BMC SoCs, where\nNET_NCSI=y is standard).\n\nReject commands whose declared payload extends past the end of the\ndata attribute.\n\nThe issue was found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at Tencent\nYunding Lab.","published":"2026-08-22T16:16:44.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-14T13:10:00.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":null,"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00177,"percentile":0.07167,"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":"unknown","text":"Not yet scored.
