Fritz! Current security topics: Vulnerability in the handling of incoming IPv4 TCP connections in the Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98432): Updates in preparation

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/11/13

Not nice to see this in the Fritz [Wayback/Archive] Current security topics:

Tech media are currently reporting on a vulnerability in the way the Linux kernel handles incoming IPv4 TCP connections (CVE-2026-98432). Under certain circumstances, it can cause a system crash or allow code to be executed. We are not currently aware of any successful exploitation of the vulnerability, either in the context of our products or on other Linux-based systems. As a precaution, we are preparing updates for affected devices, which we will release as usual once they are ready.

This seems limited to MPTCP (Multipath TCP) according to [Wayback/Archive] Critical Linux kernel flaw allows remote root attacks on MPTCP servers
