CVE-2026-99283
validatingZero is analyzing and reversing it now.GHSA-cr3v-f62w-cwx5 ↗EUVD-2026-119327 ↗
description
Linux netfilter conntrack can apply a short closing timeout to an established TCP flow after receiving a reset packet that conntrack does not accept as closing the connection. An attacker able to inject suitable reset traffic into a targeted established flow may cause its conntrack entry to expire prematurely while both endpoints remain connected.
Still under analysis: more detail becomes available as the pipeline runs.
mitigation
Update Linux to version 6.18.61 or to a supported release containing one of the listed fixes. Until updated, reduce exposure to untrusted traffic that can inject TCP packets into established connections.
fixed in 0c6d33329960b2d884a399196c8403643d8a9de6, bf80e6802273a900311b44e47c9b1a59c6d2473c, 6.18.61
outcome
Run in progress: no artifact yet.
