CVE-2026-43411

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) protocol. A local user can trigger a divide-by-zero error by setting a specific connection timeout value. This can lead to a kernel panic, effectively causing a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.

Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «tipc» as described in COMMENT_ZERO. Fixes are delivered through standard kernel errata for supported products. Operational exposure depends on whether this subsystem or driver is active in your configuration.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this issue, prevent the tipc module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
