CVE-2026-92542
Description
A flaw was found in Moby. Firewall rules for encrypted Swarm overlay networks fail to distinguish between authentic kernel traffic and packets crafted by user processes. A local attacker can exploit this flaw by sending forged Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) datagrams matching the overlay network configuration, causing the host to encrypt and route the traffic. This issue allows an attacker to inject unauthorized traffic into secure container networks, leading to network data tampering and a Denial of Service (DoS).
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
