checking tail->len would\nonly make sense if SKBs in the receive queue of a UNIX socket could grow,\nwhich can no longer happen.\n\nKuniyuki explained:\n\n> When commit 869e7c62486e (\"net: af_unix: implement stream sendpage\n> support\") added sendpage() support, data could be appended to the last\n> skb in the receiver's queue.\n>\n> That's why we needed to check if the length of the last skb was changed\n> while waiting for new data in unix_stream_data_wait().\n>\n> However, commit a0dbf5f818f9 (\"af_unix: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES\") and\n> commit 57d44a354a43 (\"unix: Convert unix_stream_sendpage() to use\n> MSG_SPLICE_PAGES\") refactored sendmsg(), and now data is always added\n> to a new skb.\n\nThat means this fix is not suitable for kernels before 6.5.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-07-19T15:40:11.51+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T20:28:12.212+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"net/unix/af_unix.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"2b514574f7e88c8498027ee366fd6e7aae5aa4b5\",\n \"lessThan\": \"26342087fac93b3932e6af61dc91ec029cb8a623\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2b514574f7e88c8498027ee366fd6e7aae5aa4b5\",\n \"lessThan\": \"38bccb927d83d7d52e5b20015a172a0b6101d11e\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2b514574f7e88c8498027ee366fd6e7aae5aa4b5\",\n \"lessThan\": \"acdff9907478e82208475b1151700d0b71dcdc63\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2b514574f7e88c8498027ee366fd6e7aae5aa4b5\",\n \"lessThan\": \"5f162f95a95834f06a8ec6140889272ad12e842f\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2b514574f7e88c8498027ee366fd6e7aae5aa4b5\",\n \"lessThan\": \"be309f8eae8b474a4a617eaae01324da996fc719\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"net/unix/af_unix.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"4.2\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"4.2\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.143\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.92\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.18.34\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.0.11\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.0.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.1\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/26342087fac93b3932e6af61dc91ec029cb8a623","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38bccb927d83d7d52e5b20015a172a0b6101d11e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/acdff9907478e82208475b1151700d0b71dcdc63","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f162f95a95834f06a8ec6140889272ad12e842f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be309f8eae8b474a4a617eaae01324da996fc719"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-64109","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-64109","identifiers":["CVE-2026-64109"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog;
