Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63892)

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

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read and integer underflow in __tb_property_parse_dir() in the thunderbolt property parser when parsing a crafted non-root property directory with dir_len less than 4. A local user can provide crafted property data to trigger out-of-bounds memory access and cause a denial of service.

The issue affects the non-root parsing path, where a short directory length can cause a UUID copy to read past the end of the property block and can also cause entry walking to continue out of bounds until the kernel oopses.
