CVE-2026-1681

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Issuing an ICMP ping via the `net ping` shell command to a device's own IPv4 address causes the network stack to recursively re-enter the input path on the same system work-queue stack. Because the destination is recognized as a local address, both the echo request and the resulting echo reply are processed inline before the current frame returns. The nested input-path frames exceed the work-queue stack and trigger a stack overflow.

Debido a que el destino se reconoce como una dirección local, tanto la solicitud de eco como la respuesta de eco resultante se procesan en línea antes de que el marco actual regrese. Los marcos de ruta de entrada anidados exceden la pila de cola de trabajo y desencadenan un desbordamiento de pila."
