CVE-2026-64046 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tls: prevent chain-after-chain in plain text SG Sashiko points out that if end = 0 (start != 0) the current code will create a chain link to content type right after the wrap link: This would create a chain where the wrap link points directly to another chain link. The scatterlist API sg_next iterator does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links. meaning this is illegal input to crypto. The wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after the last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after the wrap: end start i v v v [ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap] Skip the wrapping in this case. TLS 1.3 can use the "wrapping slot" for it's chaining if end = 0. This avoids the chain-after-chain. Move the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content type, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not matter from functional perspective.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's TLS implementation can lead to an illegal input scenario in the scatterlist API. This issue arises when the 'end' parameter is 0 while 'start' is not, causing a wrap link to point directly to another chain link. The scatterlist API's iterator does not properly resolve consecutive chain links, creating a chain-after-chain situation that is problematic for crypto operations. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel stable tree, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
