ZDI-26-701: Linux Kernel TLS Protocol Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability

AI summary · glm-5.3

ZDI discloses Linux Kernel TLS protocol out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-64046) allowing high-privileged local attackers to disclose sensitive information, CVSS 6.7.

ZDI-26-701 covers an out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability in the Linux Kernel TLS protocol implementation, tracked as CVE-2026-64046 with a CVSS rating of 6.7. Exploitation requires the attacker to already have the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system. Impact is limited to disclosure of sensitive information from affected installations.

  • CVE-2026-64046, CVSS 6.7, Linux Kernel TLS protocol
  • Out-of-bounds read exposes sensitive information
  • Requires pre-existing high-privileged code execution, limiting practical impact

CVE-2026-64046
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tls: prevent chain-after-chain in plain text SG Sashiko points out that if end = 0 (start != 0) the current code will create a chain link to content type right after the wrap link: This would create a chain where the wrap link points directly to another chain link. The scatterlist API sg_next iterator does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links. meaning this is illegal input to crypto. The wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after the last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after the wrap: end start i v v v [ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap] Skip the wrapping in this case. TLS 1.3 can use the "wrapping slot" for it's chaining if end = 0. This avoids the chain-after-chain. Move the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content type, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not matter from functional perspective.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 6.7. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-64046.
