Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93827)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to trigger a double-free.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free in the virtio-fs queue setup and probe cleanup paths when probing a virtio-fs device that advertises more request queues than the transport provides. An attacker with physical access can present a malformed virtio-fs device to cause virtio_find_vqs() to fail during extra queue setup and trigger a double-free.
