TIMELINE Apr 16 Reserved by Linux Sep 5 Published (CNA: Linux) Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-39718 (Linux). CVSS 8.4 → 5.5 (NVD).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock/virtio: Validate length in packet header before skb_put() When receiving a vsock packet in the guest, only the virtqueue buffer size is validated prior to virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put(). Unfortunately, virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() uses the length from the packet header as the length argument to skb_put(), potentially resulting in SKB overflow if the host has gone wonky. Validate the length as advertised by the packet header before calling virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put().
