Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64357)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
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 integer overflow in xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead() when calculating block reservation overhead for exchange mappings. A local user can trigger the vulnerable calculation to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because the limit check is applied to the pre-overhead reservation value instead of the computed reservation value that is later passed to xfs_trans_alloc().
