Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64544)

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

CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 in pefile_digest_pe_contents when processing a crafted PE file. A local user can supply a specially crafted PE file to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because an unsigned subtraction can underflow after the trailing-data hash length calculation exceeds the PE length, which can lead to a kernel panic on unmapped vmalloc guard pages.
