Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45838)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in cgroup_storage_get_next_key() when processing end-of-list conditions for cgroup storage map keys. A local user can trigger the function on the last list element to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because the code reads a key from a bogus pointer that aliases internal map fields and copies the result to userspace.
