UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64577: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published Aug 5, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gtp: check skbpulldata() return in gtp1usendechoresp() gtp1usendechoresp() ignores skbpulldata()'s return value. Its caller gtp1uudpencaprecv() only guarantees 16 bytes (udphdr + gtp1header), but the pull requests 20 (gtp1headerlong + udphdr). For a 16-19 byte echo request the pull fails and returns NULL without advancing skb->data; execution continues, and the following skbpush() plus the IP header pushed by iptunnelxmit() move skb->data below skb->head, tripping skbunderpanic(). Fix it by dropping the packet when skbpulldata() fails. skbuff: skbunderpanic: ... kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:214! Call Trace: skbpush (net/core/skbuff.c:2648) iptunnelxmit (net/ipv4/iptunnelcore.c:82) gtpencaprecv (drivers/net/gtp.c:701 drivers/net/gtp.c:808 drivers/net/gtp.c:920) udpqueuercvoneskb (net/ipv4/udp.c:2388) ... Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What traffic can trigger the crash?

A GTPv1 echo request that is 16 to 19 bytes long can trigger the vulnerable path. Processing it can lead to skb_under_panic and a kernel panic in interrupt context.

2

Does exploitation require authentication or user interaction?

No. The supplied vector indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction are required.

3

What is the impact of successful exploitation?

The documented impact is denial of service: the kernel can panic and stop with a fatal exception. No confidentiality or integrity impact is indicated by the provided vector.

4

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.

5

What does the fix do?

The fix checks the return value of skb_pull_data() in gtp1u_send_echo_resp(). If the required data cannot be pulled, the packet is dropped rather than continuing into the invalid buffer manipulation path.
