Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm rmnet component. This vulnerability occurs because the system does not properly check the size of incoming network packets, specifically MAP frames, when a certain network feature (ingress deaggregation) is turned off. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted, undersized network packet. This can cause the system to read beyond its allocated memory, leading to a system crash and making the service unavailable (Denial of Service).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-27 21:03:46 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: qualcomm: rmnet: validate MAP frame length before ingress parsing

When ingress deaggregation is disabled, rmnet_map_ingress_handler() passes
the skb straight to __rmnet_map_ingress_handler(), skipping the length
validation that rmnet_map_deaggregate() performs on the aggregated path.
The parser then dereferences the MAP header and csum header/trailer based on
the on-wire pkt_len without checking skb->len, so a short frame is read out
of bounds:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rmnet_map_checksum_downlink_packet
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff88801118ed00 by task exploit/147

   ...

Factor that validation out of rmnet_map_deaggregate() into
rmnet_map_validate_packet_len() and run it on the no-aggregation path too.
The MAP header is bounds-checked first, since this path can receive a frame
shorter than the header.
