Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53199)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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 improper memory access in netvsc_copy_to_send_buf() when copying skb fragments into the VMBus send buffer. A local user can trigger packet transmission with page-backed fragments to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs on 32-bit x86 systems with CONFIG_HIGHMEM enabled when fragment pages reside above the LOWMEM boundary, and the fault happens on the transmit softirq path.
