Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-27 15:09:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: icmp: validate reply type before using icmp_pointers

Extended echo replies use ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY as the outbound reply type.
That value is outside the range covered by icmp_pointers[], which only
describes the traditional ICMP types up to NR_ICMP_TYPES.

Avoid consulting icmp_pointers[] for reply types outside that range, and
use array_index_nospec() for the remaining in-range lookup. Normal ICMP
replies keep their existing behavior unchanged.
