Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Numeric Truncation Error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89856)

CWE-ID: CWE-197 - Numeric Truncation Error

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to corrupt memory or cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to numeric truncation in the qla2xxx MSI-X queue-count calculation when deriving queue counts from MSI-X vector counts. A remote attacker can cause a zero queue count to be used for queue allocation to corrupt memory or cause a denial of service.

Target mode can also underflow the queue count after decrementing it.
