UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64548: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: reject overflowing copy + len in bpfmsgpushdata() When the scatterlist ring is full or nearly full, bpfmsgpushdata() enters a copy fallback path and computes copy + len for the page allocation size. Since len comes from BPF with arg3type = ARGANYTHING and both are u32, a crafted len can wrap the sum to a small value, causing an undersized allocation followed by an out-of-bounds memcpy. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffed104089a402 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI Call Trace: asanmemcpy (mm/kasan/shadow.c:105) bpfmsgpushdata (net/core/filter.c:2852 net/core/filter.c:2788) bpfprog9ed8b5711920a7d7+0x2e/0x36 skpsockmsgverdict (net/core/skmsg.c:934) tcpbpfsendmsg (net/ipv4/tcpbpf.c:421 net/ipv4/tcpbpf.c:584) syssendto (net/socket.c:2206) dosyscall64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall64.c:94) entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry64.S:130) Add an overflow check before the allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions are needed to reach the vulnerable code path?
An attacker needs to supply a crafted length value through a BPF program invoking bpf_msg_push_data(). The vulnerable fallback path is reached when the sockmap scatterlist ring is full or nearly full.
What is the impact if the flaw is successfully exploited?
The crafted length can cause the allocation-size calculation to wrap, producing an undersized allocation followed by an out-of-bounds memcpy. The reported impact includes loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
