A remote peer can trigger the affected UDP-encapsulated transmit path in a reasonable SCTP service deployment.\nAC:L - The bug is triggered by repeatedly causing SCTP-over-UDP transmission in process/backlog context where BH is not disabled. Although CPU migration/preemption timing is involved, the attacker can drive repeated transmissions and the higher-severity choice is AC:L.\nPR:N - A remote SCTP peer does not need local credentials or kernel privileges to send packets to an SCTP-over-UDP service and induce responses. Local setup of SCTP-over-UDP may require configuration, but exploitation of an exposed configured service is unauthenticated.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once an SCTP-over-UDP endpoint is exposed. The attacker only sends network traffic.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel networking stack and host network availability. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary violation.\nC:N - The bug corrupts transmit recursion accounting, not packet contents or attacker-readable memory. I found no evidence of an information disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The issue causes incorrect recursion detection and packet drops, not arbitrary writes, control-flow hijack, or attacker-controlled data modification. The only modified state is internal transmit recursion accounting.\nA:H - Unbalanced per-CPU transmit recursion counters can become stale or underflowed, causing false recursion-limit detection and persistent packet drops in tunnel or device transmit paths. Repeated triggering can deny network availability for affected SCTP-over-UDP traffic and potentially broader transmit paths on affected CPUs."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/sctp/ipv6.c", "net/sctp/protocol.c"], "versions": [{"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "e2933f5b3a31b175628985b92895269b778674a1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "7f0062c40781fe0a340965f5bb0816681982ff4c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "be3bfcb34bda04f6a350710db471d4133f950f2c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "0de7db2eb27e82b983157016fa604b1ba664ae5f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "790093245e35040c2adb15f48970020425aa3f47", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "046c052b475e7119b6a30e3483e2888fc606a2f8", "lessThan": "2cd7e6971fc2787408ceef17906ea152791448cf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/sctp/ipv6.c", "net/sctp/protocol.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.11", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.95", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.37", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.95"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.37"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.10"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e2933f5b3a31b175628985b92895269b778674a1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f0062c40781fe0a340965f5bb0816681982ff4c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be3bfcb34bda04f6a350710db471d4133f950f2c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0de7db2eb27e82b983157016fa604b1ba664ae5f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/790093245e35040c2adb15f48970020425aa3f47"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2cd7e6971fc2787408ceef17906ea152791448cf"}], "title": "sctp: disable BH before calling udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2026-53070", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "yes"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:25:08.024827Z"}}}], "problemTypes": [{"descriptions": [{"lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-362", "description": "CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')"}]}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-19T19:47:14.996Z"}}]}}
