CVE-2026-46037 is an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in the Linux kernel IPv4 ICMP reply-handling path. Extended echo replies use the ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY outbound reply type, which is outside the valid index range of the icmp_pointers array that defines traditional ICMP types. The vulnerable code consulted this array before validating the reply type. The fix rejects reply types outside the traditional ICMP range before the lookup and applies array_index_nospec() to valid in-range accesses.
