Title
netfilter: conntrack_irc: fix possible out-of-bounds read
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack_irc: fix possible out-of-bounds read
When parsing fails after we've matched the command string we
should bail out instead of trying to match a different command.
This helper should be deprecated, given prevalence of TLS I doubt it has
any relevance in 2026.

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable IRC conntrack helper parses attacker-controlled TCP payloads on network flows when the helper is attached, such as an IRC-exposed host or firewall/NAT deployment. A remote peer can establish the TCP flow and send the crafted IRC/CTCP DCC text that reaches `help()`.\nAC:L - Once the helper is enabled/assigned, triggering is deterministic packet parsing with attacker-controlled payload bytes and no race or hard-to-shape kernel state. The established-flow requirement is attacker-controlled by completing a normal TCP handshake.\nPR:N - The network attacker does not need local credentials or authenticated IRC privileges to send payload on a tracked TCP connection. Helper configuration requires administrative privileges, but that is deployment state, not attacker privilege.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed after the vulnerable helper is active on the network path. The attacker only sends network traffic.\nS:U - The impact is within the kernel/netfilter security authority of the affected system. There is no VM, IOMMU, or separate security-scope boundary crossed.\nC:L - This is an out-of-bounds read from the IRC payload buffer/parser state, but the overread is constrained by short command comparisons and parser checks rather than an arbitrary kernel memory read primitive. Under the higher-severity tie-break rule, limited confidentiality impact is appropriate for the possible stale/adjacent-byte exposure.\nI:N - The bug is a read-side parser bounds error and does not write attacker-controlled data to kernel memory or provide a direct modification primitive. Any conntrack expectation changes require passing the helper\u0027s normal DCC validation path and are not arbitrary integrity compromise.\nA:H - The malformed payload can drive `memcmp()`/parser reads beyond the valid copied payload window, and with large/nonlinear packets this can go past the helper\u0027s guard byte and plausibly fault/oops in kernel context. The packet can be resent repeatedly for denial of service."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
