CVE-2026-68088
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) gadget function. A missing length check for BufLength and BufOffset parameters within the rndis_query_response() function could allow a malicious actor to provide specially crafted input. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Read Memory; Modify Memory; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
Buffer overflows often can be used to execute arbitrary code, which is usually outside the scope of a program's implicit security policy. This can often be used to subvert any other security service.
Availability
Technical Impact: Modify Memory; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)
Buffer overflows generally lead to crashes. Other attacks leading to lack of availability are possible, including putting the program into an infinite loop.
