CVE-2026-63860

8.4 · HIGH
Published Jul 19, 2026 EPSS 0.14% (4th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-63860 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/core: Prefer NLA_NUL_STRING

These attributes are evaluated as c-string (passed to strcmp), but

NLA_STRING doesn't check for the presence of a \0 terminator.

Either this needs to switch to nla_strcmp() and needs to adjust printf fmt

specifier to not use plain %s, or this needs to use NLA_NUL_STRING.

As the code has been this way for long time, it seems to me that userspace

does include the terminating nul, even tough its not enforced so far, and

thus NLA_NUL_STRING use is the simpler solution.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
