For IPv6 it computes the offset with\nsizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code uses iph.len from\nip_vs_fill_iph_skb(), where ipv6_find_hdr() has already skipped\nextension headers and found the real transport header.\n\nThis makes the state machine read from the wrong offset for IPv6 SCTP\npackets that carry extension headers. For example, an INIT packet with an\n8-byte destination options header can be scheduled correctly by\nsctp_conn_schedule(), but set_sctp_state() reads the first byte of the\nSCTP verification tag as a DATA chunk type. The connection then moves\nfrom NONE to ESTABLISHED instead of INIT1, gets the longer established\ntimeout, and updates the active/inactive destination counters\nincorrectly. This happens even though the SCTP handshake has not\ncompleted.\n\nUse the parsed transport offset passed down from ip_vs_set_state() for\nthe SCTP chunk-header lookup. For IPv4 and IPv6 packets without\nextension headers this preserves the existing offset.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-15T05:51:47.324+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T21:19:23.393+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/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_proto_sctp.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"d2b8b1557ec07ea1bb5dddbceaf4dfe63d388e27\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"9f94573ab962a9e81954b755da016fa3cd2f5039\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"290e9e8389b556efc603522e28bd1543846aa336\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"9cb5ac594ca76d3a71803b23b74c835b0721e628\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"a4a2d2e483d79cc2ad3a170674cf159644acf22b\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"247d055504dcc852e539b9f7f30d19f9741474bf\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"e5d0bb8871668f20de8f3c94b5ae3f372346bc6e\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2906f66a5682e5670a5eefe991843689b8d8563f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2f75c0faa3361b28e36cc0512b3299e163e25789\",\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/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_proto_sctp.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"2.6.34\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2.6.34\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.10.261\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.15.212\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.178\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.145\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.97\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.18.40\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.1.5\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.2\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","score":8.2,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2b8b1557ec07ea1bb5dddbceaf4dfe63d388e27","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f94573ab962a9e81954b755da016fa3cd2f5039","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/290e9e8389b556efc603522e28bd1543846aa336","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cb5ac594ca76d3a71803b23b74c835b0721e628","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4a2d2e483d79cc2ad3a170674cf159644acf22b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/247d055504dcc852e539b9f7f30d19f9741474bf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e5d0bb8871668f20de8f3c94b5ae3f372346bc6e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f75c0faa3361b28e36cc0512b3299e163e25789"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-72021","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-72021","identifiers":["CVE-2026-72021"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
