CVE-2026-72119

7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.16% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72119 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

can: bcm: extend bcm_tx_lock usage for data and timer updates

Stage new CAN frame content for an existing tx op into a kmalloc()'d

buffer and validate it there, mirroring the approach already used in

bcm_rx_setup(). Only copy the validated data into op->frames while

holding op->bcm_tx_lock, so bcm_can_tx() and bcm_tx_timeout_handler()

can no longer observe a partially updated or unvalidated frame.

Add a missing error path for memcpy_from_msg() when copying CAN frame

data from userspace.

Also move the kt_ival1/kt_ival2/ival1/ival2 updates in bcm_tx_setup()

under op->bcm_tx_lock, and read kt_ival1/kt_ival2/count under the same

lock in bcm_tx_set_expiry() and bcm_tx_timeout_handler(), closing the

torn 64-bit ktime_t read on 32-bit platforms.
