CVE-2026-68118: Linux kernel TCP can drop connections improperly
CVE-2026-68118 · published 2 months ago
Summary
A bug in the Linux kernel’s TCP code could allow certain reset packets to close a network connection without the usual safety checks. This may let an attacker disrupt communications on systems running Debian or Ubuntu variants of Linux. Updating the operating system to the latest kernel release from your vendor resolves the issue.
What to do
- Update debian linux to version 7.1.6-1.

Original advisory text
BELL-CVE-2026-68118
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: challenge ACK for non-exact RST in SYN-RECEIVED
The SYN-RECEIVED request-socket path in tcp_check_req() accepts an
in-window RST without requiring SEG.SEQ to exactly match RCV.NXT. A
non-exact RST therefore removes the request instead of eliciting a
challenge ACK.
RFC 9293 section 3.10.7.4 applies the RFC 5961 reset check in
SYN-RECEIVED: an exact RST resets the connection, while a non-exact
in-window RST must trigger a challenge ACK and be dropped.
Apply that check before the ACK-field validation, following the RFC
sequence-number, RST, then ACK processing order. Factor the per-netns
challenge ACK quota out of tcp_send_challenge_ack() so request sockets
can share it. Use the request socket's send_ack() callback and its own
out-of-window ACK timestamp to send and rate-limit the response.
