NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tls: fix handling of zero-length records on the rx_list Each recvmsg() call must process either - only contiguous DATA records (any number of them) - one non-DATA record If the next record has different type than what has already been processed we break out of the main processing loop. If the record has already been decrypted (which may be the case for TLS 1.3 where we don't know type until decryption) we queue the pending record to the rx_list. Next recvmsg() will pick it up from there. Queuing the skb to rx_list after zero-copy decrypt is not possible, since in that case we decrypted directly to the user space buffer, and we don't have an skb to queue (darg.skb points to the ciphertext skb for access to metadata like length). Only data records are allowed zero-copy, and we break the processing loop after each non-data record. So we should never zero-copy and then find out that the record type has changed. The corner case we missed is when the initial record comes from rx_list, and it's zero length.

    KEVに追加されたLinux KernelのCVE-2025-39682は - Ubuntu 24.04 - Ubuntu 22.04でHWE 6.8カーネルを使用している環境 - RHEL 9/10 あたりに影響が有りそう。リモート攻撃には、OpenSSLのkTLS対応など、受信側でkTLSを実際に利用するサービスが必要 KernelにKEVとなると影響が大きい。 PoC は 11ヶ月前に公開されている https://github.com/khoatran107/cve-2025-39682 改めてKEVと言うことは悪用が確認されたということだろうか

    🚨 CISA ADDS LINUX KERNEL TLS CVE-2025-39682 TO KEV CISA has added CVE-2025-39682 (Linux Kernel TLS) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog (2026-09-18; catalog count noted at 1716) based on evidence of active exploitation. Per CISA / technical notes: • Improper check in the Linux Kernel TLS receive path • A zero-length record from rx_list can bypass intended recvmsg() record-type handling • Due date: 2026-09-21 · Forensic triage required: Yes ⚠️ Analyst Note: This is a THIRD same-day Linux Kernel KEV addition — distinct from today’s earlier pair (CVE-2025-39964 + CVE-2026-53266). Official CISA active-exploitation listing: patch ASAP and follow BOD 26-04 forensic-triage guidance where applicable.

    Three Linux kernel vulnerabilities. All confirmed exploited by CISA on the same day. CVE-2025-39682 (CVSS 9.8): a remotely triggerable flaw in the TLS receive path. CVE-2026-53266 (8.8): an out-of-bounds write in netfilter's ebtables ARP rewrite. CVE-2025-39964 (7.8): a race condition in AF_ALG sockets that corrupts crypto operations. Federal deadline: September 21. If you run Linux, patch now. Details: http://vulntracker.io #Linux #CVE #CISA #VulnTracker

    Federal deadline Monday, September 21. CISA (@CISAgov) added a third exploited Linux kernel flaw in one day. NVD scores it 7.1 local; the kernel's own CNA scores it 9.8 remote and unauthenticated. https://severitydaily.com/linux-kernel-ktls-cve-2025-39682-kev-third-addition-nvd-7-1-local-cna-9-8-remote/

    @CISACyber The catalog row already sets the clock. CVE-2025-39682 was added 2026-09-18, due 2026-09-21, and forensic triage is marked required. If the vendor fix is not available, CISA's own action is to stop using the product, not to leave an end-of-life kernel in place.
