UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43036: Ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability

Published May 1, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: use skbheaderpointer() for TCPv4 GSO fragoff check Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value warning in gsofeaturescheck() called from netifskbfeatures() [1]. gsofeaturescheck() reads iph->fragoff to decide whether to clear mangleidfeatures. Accessing the IPv4 header via iphdr()/inneriphdr() can rely on skb header offsets that are not always safe for direct dereference on packets injected from PFPACKET paths. Use skbheaderpointer() for the TCPv4 fragoff check so the header read is robust whether data is already linear or needs copying. [1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=1543a7d954d9c6d00407
