UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72296: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability

Q: Who can exploit this issue?

The vulnerability has a local attack vector and requires low privileges. An attacker would need to cause the system to process a malformed IFE frame.

Q: What is the likely impact of successful exploitation?

The described failure can crash the kernel while handling the decapsulated packet. The supplied vector indicates high availability impact, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.

Published Aug 15, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ife: require ETHHLEN to be pullable in ifedecode() ife decode may return after making only the outer IFE header and metadata pullable. The caller then passes the decapsulated packet to ethtypetrans(), which expects the inner Ethernet header to be accessible from the linear data area. With a malformed IFE frame, the inner Ethernet header may still be shorter than ETHHLEN in the linear area, which can lead to a crash in the original code. Fix this by extending the pull check in ifedecode() so that the inner Ethernet header is also guaranteed to be pullable before returning.
