CVE-2026-64537 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bridge: cfm: reject invalid CCM interval at configuration time ccm_tx_work_expired() re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work() using the configured exp_interval converted by interval_to_us(). When exp_interval is BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_NONE or out of range, interval_to_us() returns 0, causing the worker to fire immediately in a tight loop that allocates skbs until OOM. Fix this by validating exp_interval at configuration time: - Constrain IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_CONFIG_EXP_INTERVAL to the valid range [BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_3_3_MS, BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_10_MIN] in the netlink policy so userspace cannot set an invalid value. - Reject starting CCM TX in br_cfm_cc_ccm_tx() when exp_interval has not yet been configured (defaults to 0 from kzalloc).
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's bridge component, specifically within the CFM (Connectivity Fault Management) feature. The issue arises when an invalid CCM (Continuity Check Message) interval is set during configuration. The function responsible for transmitting CCM frames can enter a tight loop, continuously allocating memory for SKBs (socket buffers) until the system runs out of memory. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
The vulnerability has been addressed by adding validation for the CCM interval at configuration time. Users should ensure that the interval is set within the valid range before applying the configuration.
