CVE-2026-10636
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In Zephyr's IPv4 IGMP implementation, igmp_send() in subsys/net/ip/igmp.c read the network interface back out of the packet via net_pkt_iface(pkt) after the packet had been handed to net_send_data(). On the successful-send path the packet's last reference may already have been released by the L2 driver or by the network stack's TX handling (synchronously in the default NET_TC_TX_COUNT=0 immediate-transmit configuration), returning the net_pkt slab block to its free list. The subsequent net_pkt_iface(pkt) dereferences the freed packet, a use-after-free read; with CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_PER_INTERFACE the resulting dangling interface pointer is further dereferenced for a statistics-counter write. The IGMP send path is reachable without authentication from inbound IPv4 IGMP membership queries addressed to 224.0.0.1 (net_ipv4_igmp_input -> send_igmp_report/send_igmp_v3_report -> igmp_send), as well as from local multicast join/leave/rejoin operations. Realistic impact is undefined behavior and potential denial of service (sporadic crash or stats corruption); a controllable write requires the asynchronous TX path plus a concurrent slab reuse. The flaw was introduced with IGMPv2 support and affects releases from v2.6.0 through v4.4.0. The fix caches the interface pointer before sending. Note the analogous IPv6 MLD path (mld_send in subsys/net/ip/ipv6_mld.c) retains the same unfixed pattern.

"value": "En la implementación de IGMP IPv4 de Zephyr, igmp_send() en subsys/net/ip/igmp.c leía la interfaz de red del paquete a través de net_pkt_iface(pkt) después de que el paquete había sido entregado a net_send_data(). En la ruta de envío exitoso, la última referencia del paquete ya podría haber sido liberada por el controlador L2 o por el manejo TX de la pila de red (sincrónicamente en la configuración predeterminada de transmisión inmediata NET_TC_TX_COUNT=0), devolviendo el bloque slab net_pkt a su lista de libres. La subsiguiente net_pkt_iface(pkt) desreferencia el paquete liberado, una lectura de uso después de liberación; con CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS_PER_INTERFACE, el puntero de interfaz colgante resultante es desreferenciado aún más para una escritura de contador de estadísticas. La ruta de envío de IGMP es alcanzable sin autenticación desde consultas de membresía IGMP IPv4 entrantes dirigidas a 224.0.0.1 (net_ipv4_igmp_input - send_igmp_report/send_igmp_v3_report - igmp_send), así como desde operaciones locales de unión/salida/reunión de multidifusión. El impacto realista es un comportamiento indefinido y una potencial denegación de servicio (fallo esporádico o corrupción de estadísticas); una escritura controlable requiere la ruta TX asíncrona más una reutilización concurrente del slab. La falla fue introducida con el soporte de IGMPv2 y afecta a las versiones desde la v2.6.0 hasta la v4.4.0. La solución almacena en caché el puntero de interfaz antes de enviar. Tenga en cuenta que la ruta análoga de MLD IPv6 (mld_send en subsys/net/ip/ipv6_mld.c) conserva el mismo patrón sin corregir."
