Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68255)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in virtio_get_edid_block() when parsing device-supplied EDID responses. A remote privileged user can supply a crafted virtio-gpu EDID response with a large reported size and high extension count to disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation requires control of a malicious virtio-gpu backend.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
