Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64318)

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

CVSSv4: 4.8 [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]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the aix partition parser when scanning the physical-partition-extent array from a crafted AIX/IBM partition table. A local user can supply a crafted block-device image to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can be triggered during partition scanning without mounting the filesystem, including when a crafted image is attached with partition scanning enabled or when a device is auto-scanned by udev.
