CVE-2026-98495
Published: October 21, 2026Last modified: October 21, 2026
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: arp: terminate device name before lookup The ARP ioctl copies a user-provided struct arpreq into a stack object. Its arp_dev field may contain IFNAMSIZ bytes without a NUL terminator. Such input is passed to dev_get_by_name_rcu() or __dev_get_by_name(), where strcmp() can read past the end of the stack object when a matching alternative interface name exists. Terminate the field before the lookup to prevent the out-of-bounds read.
