CVE-2026-68289: tipc: fix integer overflow in tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.18% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 1b6066313b9b8fac870483bf7a26d6bd56579747, 47f42ff521b4eeb46e82f9a46a4783a99f7570d7, 7364014fdc289225229eb08de8bcbf4580e78e4d; azl3 kernel 6.6.152.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.158.1-1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 1b6066313b9b8fac870483bf7a26d6bd56579747, 47f42ff521b4eeb46e82f9a46a4783a99f7570d7, 7364014fdc289225229eb08de8bcbf4580e78e4d; azl3 kernel 6.6.152.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.158.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix integer overflow in tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream() In tipc_recvmsg(), the copy length is computed as: copy = min_t(int, dlen - offset, buflen); buflen is size_t but min_t(int, ...) casts it to int. When buflen exceeds INT_MAX (e.g. 0xFFFFFFFF via io_uring provided buffers), it wraps negative, wins the comparison, and the negative copy length propagates to simple_copy_to_iter() where int-to-size_t promotion makes it SIZE_MAX, triggering a WARN_ON. tipc_recvstream() has the same pattern. Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel: panic_on_warn set ... RIP: 0010:simple_copy_to_iter+0x9e/0xd0 (net/core/datagram.c:521) Call Trace: __skb_datagram_iter+0x123/0x8b0 (net/core/datagram.c:402) skb_copy_datagram_iter+0x77/0x1a0 (net/core/datagram.c:534) tipc_recvmsg+0x3d7/0xe80 (net/tipc/socket.c:1934) io_recvmsg+0x47e/0xda0 Fix by changing min_t(int, ...) to min_t(size_t, ...) in both functions. The result is always <= (dlen - offset), which is bounded by TIPC maximum message size (0x1ffff bytes), so the implicit narrowing on assignment to int copy is always safe.
