Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74567)

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

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 out-of-bounds read in keyring_get_key_chunk() when processing crafted colliding key descriptions through add_key(2). A local user can add a crafted pair of same-type keys whose index hashes collide to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is triggered when the lookup reaches a description-level chunk after collisions through the hash, x, type, and domain_tag chunks.
