Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74384)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/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 write in the nvme multipath namespace head flexible array member current_path[] when handling sparse NUMA node IDs during namespace path revalidation. A local user can trigger nvme multipath operations on a system with sparse NUMA node IDs to cause a denial of service.

Only systems using nvme multipath on architectures where NUMA node IDs are sparse are affected.
