Local kTLS send path requires an unprivileged socket setup (PR:L, AV:L) and a race-like ring-wrap trigger (AC:H); realistic impact is limited memory leak (C:L) and crash (A:H), not full RCE.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: fix off-by-one in sg_chain entry count for wrapped sk_msg ring
When an sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps (sg.end < sg.start), tls_push_record() chains the tail portion of the ring to the head using sg_chain(). An extra entry in the sg array is reserved for this:
struct sk_msg_sg { [...] /* The extra two elements:
- 1) used for chaining the front and sections when the list becomes
- partitioned (e.g. end < start). The crypto APIs require the
- chaining;
- 2) to chain tailer SG entries after the message.
*/ struct scatterlist data[MAX_MSG_FRAGS + 2];
The current code uses MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 as the ring size:
sg_chain(&msg_pl->sg.data[msg_pl->sg.start], MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_pl->sg.start + 1, msg_pl->sg.data);
This places the chain pointer at
sg_chain(data[start], (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) .. = &data[start] + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) - 1 = data[start + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - start + 1) - 1] = data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]
instead of the true last entry. This is likely due to a "race" of the commit under Fixes landing close to commit 031097d9e079 ("bpf: sk_msg, zap ingress queue on psock down")
Convert to ARRAY_SIZE and drop the data[start] / - start (as suggested by Sabrina).
AnalysisAI
Memory-safety off-by-one in the Linux kernel's TLS (kTLS) data path miscounts scatterlist entries when an sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps (sg.end < sg.start), causing tls_push_record() to place the sg_chain() continuation pointer at data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] instead of the true last entry. On affected 5.5-through-7.x stable kernels this can corrupt or misdirect the scatterlist handed to the crypto API during TLS record transmission, with the potential for information disclosure (as tagged) or a crash. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.18%, 7th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The bug lives in the kernel TLS transmit path (net/tls, tls_push_record) which builds TLS records from an sk_msg scatterlist ring. sk_msg is the plaintext/ciphertext staging structure shared with the BPF sockmap/sk_msg machinery and defines data[MAX_MSG_FRAGS + 2], reserving two extra scatterlist entries: one to chain the wrapped front and back sections of a partitioned ring (end < start), and one to chain trailer entries. When the ring wraps, the crypto API requires the two segments to be linked with sg_chain(). The defective call computed the entry count as (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - sg.start + 1) starting from &data[start], which resolves the chain-pointer slot to data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] - one short of the intended terminal slot - so the last legitimate scatterlist entry is overwritten with sg_chain magic instead of being chained. Root cause is a classic off-by-one / incorrect array-bound arithmetic (CWE-193-class, though the record lists CWE as N/A); the fix switches to ARRAY_SIZE(msg_pl->sg.data) and drops the &data[start] / -start terms. The regression is attributed to overlap with commit 031097d9e079 ('bpf: sk_msg, zap ingress queue on psock down').
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch is available: upgrade to a fixed stable release for your series - 5.10.258, 5.15.209, 6.1.175, 6.6.142, 6.12.92, or 6.18.34, or mainline 7.0.11 / 7.1 (fix commits at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73963a375885d5ccb7def39fd0b4f542e0f343dd and the sibling commits listed in the references). Apply the distribution kernel update that references CVE-2026-64047 and reboot. If immediate patching is not possible and kTLS is not required, a targeted compensating control is to avoid/disable kernel TLS offload for TX (keep TLS in userspace libraries) or restrict BPF sockmap/sk_msg usage - trade-off: this removes kTLS throughput benefits and may break applications that rely on setsockopt(SOL_TLS). Where kTLS is business-critical, prioritize the kernel upgrade instead, as no configuration toggle fully removes the code path while kTLS is in use.
