CVE-2026-74579: netfilter: nft_payload: fix mask build for partial field offload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_payload: fix mask build for partial field offload
nft_payload_offload_mask() builds the offload match mask for a payload
expression that covers only part of a header field. For a partial IPv6
address match (field_len = 16, priv_len = 1) that shift is 1 << 120, which
is undefined on the 32-bit int operand. It also trims only one word, so
the remaining words stay 0xffffffff (and when priv_len is a multiple of 4
the trim is skipped entirely), leaving the mask covering more bytes than
the rule matches.
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/netfilter/nft_payload.c:278:20
shift exponent 120 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
...
The match is byte-granular and struct nft_data is zero-initialised, so the
correct mask is simply the first priv_len bytes set to 0xff. Set those
bytes directly and drop the word/shift trimming; this removes the undefined
shift and no longer over-masks the trailing bytes.

These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
