Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89653)

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

CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause an out-of-bounds write.

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking in the fixed stack bitmap used by check_new_map() when processing a decoded MDSMap whose export_targets entries contain an out-of-range rank. A remote user can cause an MDSMap containing an out-of-range export target rank to be decoded to cause an out-of-bounds write.
