Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68184)

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 a stack out-of-bounds read in mmc_ioctl_cdrom_volume() when processing the CDROMVOLCTRL ioctl on drives that return a non-zero block descriptor length. A local user can invoke the CDROMVOLCTRL ioctl to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is not triggered by CDROMVOLREAD and only occurs on drives that report a non-zero block descriptor length.
