GHSA-9285-5JPF-MWR6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 15:31 – Updated: 2026-04-28 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_key: validate families in pfkey_send_migrate()
syzbot was able to trigger a crash in skb_put() [1]
Issue is that pfkey_send_migrate() does not check old/new families, and that set_ipsecrequest() @family argument was truncated, thus possibly overfilling the skb.
Validate families early, do not wait set_ipsecrequest().
