CVE-2026-43190 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Netfilter xt_tcpmss TCP option parser. The parser reads op[i+1] without verifying that another byte remains within the TCP option field. When the final option byte is neither EOL nor NOP and i + 1 equals optlen, this accesses one byte beyond the option boundary, potentially beyond a stack buffer or into the following packet payload. A remote attacker can trigger the flaw with a specially crafted TCP packet on systems whose Netfilter rulesets use the tcpmss match. The vulnerability may cause information disclosure and potentially limited availability impact; it is not a generic TCP stack exposure.

A Linux kernel Netfilter xt_tcpmss vulnerability involving insufficient remaining-length checks before reading an option-length value. The advisory recommends updating affected Rocky Linux 10.2 kernel packages.
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter xt_tcpmss TCP option parser. A missing remaining-length check can cause reads beyond the option buffer or into the following payload. The reference assigns a CVSS v3 base score of 8.2, reflecting potential confidentiality and availability impacts, although the vendor rates severity as low.
