Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45884)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer underflow in aa_get_buffer() when pulling buffers from the per-cpu list. A local user can trigger repeated buffer operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue can starve other CPUs of cached buffers and force repeated kmalloc(aa_g_path_max) allocations.
