Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43125)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree() when processing network messages with an excessive resource name length. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted network message to cause a denial of service.

The length value originates from the len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name().
