Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-45994

Published: May 28, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU132503
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45994
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 out-of-bounds read in command_file_write() when processing a crafted dot command buffer. A local user can supply header fields that cause the declared command size to exceed the allocated buffer to disclose sensitive information.

Kernel heap memory may be leaked to the service processor through an out-of-bounds memcpy_toio() operation.
