Overview

CVE-2026-64548 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 27, 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:

bpf, sockmap: reject overflowing copy + len in bpf_msg_push_data()

When the scatterlist ring is full or nearly full, bpf_msg_push_data()

enters a copy fallback path and computes copy + len for the page

allocation size. Since len comes from BPF with arg3_type = ARG_ANYTHING

and both are u32, a crafted len can wrap the sum to a small value,

causing an undersized allocation followed by an out-of-bounds memcpy.
