Kernel OOB via cloned fragmented XDP frames in devmap (network packet path).

common questions

Is CVE-2026-64355 being exploited?

Not confirmed. CVE-2026-64355 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 0.51% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.

How severe is CVE-2026-64355?

CVE-2026-64355 is rated Critical with a CVSS score of 9.8. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2026-64355?

Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2026-64355. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.

What does CVE-2026-64355 affect?

CVE-2026-64355 affects Linux kernel (XDP/devmap), Linux distributions with affected kernels, Network appliances using XDP. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.

What should I do about CVE-2026-64355?

Install vendor kernel patches or backports; block untrusted XDP/devmap traffic until patched.

Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
