Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64527)

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

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in hyperv_receive() and hyperv_receive_sub() in the Hyper-V DRM protocol handler when handling oversized or malformed VMBus packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted VMBus packet to cause a denial of service.

An error path may report a required packet length larger than the 16 KiB receive buffer, leading the code to use that length unsafely if forwarded for copying.
