Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43350

Published: May 9, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU130833
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43350
CWE-ID: CWE-125
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in parse_dacl() when parsing ACE SIDs returned by an SMB server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted ACE with a truncated NFS mode SID to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because an ACE with only two subauthorities can still match the NFS mode SID pattern, leading to a read of sid.sub_auth[2] past the end of the ACE.
