Descripción resumida

Linux Kernel contains an out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability which could allow a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system.

Acción requerida

Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

Notas

This vulnerability affects an open-source component, third-party library, protocol, or proprietary implementation that could be used by different products.

Descripción técnica

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s watch_queue event notification subsystem. This flaw can overwrite parts of the kernel state, potentially allowing a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system.

——5In Vinyl Cache before 9.0,2, workspace buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the .upper() and .lower() string type methods of VCL. This can be used as a remote denial of service (DoS) vector to make the child process segfault or assert, and then restart. Effectively exploiting this vulnerability requires prior knowledge about the VCL in use and the ability to craft a request that contains a string that is long enough to fill the remaining workspace at the call site while staying under the different request size limits (http_req_size, http_req_hdr_len, etc.).1d CVE-2026-617147.8 ALT

——1FluidSynth is a software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. From 2.2.4 until 2.5.6, configuring synth.midi-channels above 16 allows the MIDI player to index _fluid_player_t::channel_isplaying outside its fixed-size heap allocation while tracking active channels. The resulting out-of-bounds reads and writes invoke undefined behavior and may compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability. No crafted MIDI file is required because the unsafe condition is created by the channel-count configuration itself. Keeping synth.midi-channels at its default value of 16 avoids the vulnerable path. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.6.2d CVE-2026-75892—

——1In osmo-ggsn 1.14.0 an out of bounds write issue was found in the gtp_decode_pdp_ctx() function through the PDP context GSN-Address sub-field, leading to memory corruption.2d CVE-2026-77396—

——1PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. In 2.17 and earlier, the PJSIP AVI parser in pjmedia/src/pjmedia/avi_player.c uses an input-file video chunk length as the number of bytes copied into a frame buffer whose capacity is derived from the declared media dimensions. A crafted AVI file can therefore cause an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds write past the heap allocation when an application plays the file or pulls its frames. The existing size assertion does not protect production release builds, where assertions are disabled. Typical local playback can crash the process, while applications that accept untrusted AVI sources expose a stronger memory-corruption condition. No fixed version is available as of this review.2d CVE-2026-911423.6 BAJ

——0A flaw was found in Cockpit. An integer overflow vulnerability in the `do_lastlog()` function, specifically in the offset calculation for `lastlog` entries on ILP32 (Integer, Long, Pointer 32-bit) builds, can be exploited. A low-privileged authenticated user with a specially provisioned large User ID (UID) can cause the computed offset to wrap around. This allows the user to perform unauthorized reads and writes to other users' `lastlog` records, potentially disclosing or altering sensitive login accounting information.2d
