Libslirp: libslirp: out-of-bounds heap read in icmp_forward_error() leading to information disclosure

Published Nov 3, 2026 · Updated Nov 9, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in libslirp in icmp_forward_error(). When building an ICMP error response, the length of the quoted original IPv4 packet was taken from the IP header without clamping it to the actual buffer length. A truncated or malformed packet could cause an out-of-bounds heap read, leaking host memory into the ICMP error packet returned to a guest or container.
