{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72296","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ife: require ETH_HLEN to be pullable in ife_decode() ife decode may return after making only the outer IFE header and metadata pullable. The caller then passes the decapsulated packet to eth_type_trans(), 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 ETH_HLEN in the linear area, which can lead to a crash in the original code. Fix this by extending the pull check in ife_decode() so that the inner Ethernet header is also guaranteed to be pullable before returning.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:22:02","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:18:32","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72296","cvssScore":9.1,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","epssProbability":0.00714,"riskScore":0.97,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72296","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72296","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72296","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72296","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72296","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72296","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72296","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72296"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72296"}}
