Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64244)

CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in add_memory_block() and memory_block_release() when handling failed memory block registration. A local attacker can trigger a failure during memory block registration to cause a denial of service.

This issue can be triggered when __add_memory_block() fails at xa_store() under memory pressure, leading to a kernel WARN_ON on mem->altmap.
