CVE-2026-68120
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtase driver. This vulnerability occurs because the hardware performs packet parsing before transmission. When processing incomplete IPv4, IPv6, TCP, or UDP headers, or specific UDP packets with insufficient transport data, the hardware parser may expect additional protocol header data that is not present. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted network packets, leading to a transmission (TX) hang and causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
