An unprivileged attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capabilities can craft and inject a malformed IPv4 packet with an invalid Internet Header Length (IHL). This can lead to an out-of-bounds memory access when the packet is processed by certain kernel components, ultimately causing a kernel panic and a denial of service.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:88477** · Red Hat · fixed in: 10Base-SMTV, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hidden (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time for NFV (v. 10), … · released 2026-10-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:88477)\n- **RHSA-2026:86033** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time for NFV (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time (v. 9) · released 2026-10-20 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:86033)\n- **RHSA-2026:87375** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CRB (v. 8) · released 2026-10-21 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:87375)\n- **RHSA-2026:87374** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux NFV (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux RT (v. 8) · released 2026-10-21 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:87374)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 · updated 2026-10-23 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-64114.json)\n\n**kernel: ipv4: raw: reject IP_HDRINCL packets with ihl < 5** — rated Moderate by Red Hat.
