UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46000: Medium severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

Q: Who is most likely to be exposed to this issue?

Systems running one of the listed Ubuntu Linux kernel packages are in scope. Exposure specifically depends on RxRPC RESPONSE packet processing and on packets being cloned or shared with a packet sniffer.

Q: What conditions are required for the issue to occur?

A RESPONSE packet must be processed by the RxRPC security operations, which decrypt packet data in place, while the associated sk_buff is shared with a packet sniffer. In that situation, the sniffer can observe the packet after it has been modified by decryption.

Q: What is the observable impact?

A packet sniffer may see an apparently corrupt RESPONSE packet because it is observing decrypted packet contents rather than the original shared packet data. The provided information does not describe broader confidentiality, integrity, or availability effects.

Published May 27, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it in place - however, the skbuff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually decrypted). Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security handler if the packet was cloned.

Who is most likely to be exposed to this issue?

Systems running one of the listed Ubuntu Linux kernel packages are in scope. Exposure specifically depends on RxRPC RESPONSE packet processing and on packets being cloned or shared with a packet sniffer.

What conditions are required for the issue to occur?

A RESPONSE packet must be processed by the RxRPC security operations, which decrypt packet data in place, while the associated sk_buff is shared with a packet sniffer. In that situation, the sniffer can observe the packet after it has been modified by decryption.

What is the observable impact?

A packet sniffer may see an apparently corrupt RESPONSE packet because it is observing decrypted packet contents rather than the original shared packet data. The provided information does not describe broader confidentiality, integrity, or availability effects.
