Vulnerability identifier: #VU122372

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23069

CWE-ID: CWE-191

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the virtio_transport_get_credit(), virtio_transport_seqpacket_has_data(), virtio_transport_stream_has_space() and virtio_transport_space_update() functions in net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
