Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-46070

Published: May 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU132415
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46070
CWE-ID: CWE-125
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb() when processing corrupted journal metadata blocks. A local user can provide a corrupted journal with payload size fields that extend beyond the metadata block boundary to disclose sensitive information.
