Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64460

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139474

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64460

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in sriov_restore_vf_rebar_state() when restoring VF Resizable BAR state after configuration reads return an error response. A local user can trigger access to an unresponsive device state to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered because error responses cause 3-bit fields in the VF Resizable BAR Control register to evaluate to index values beyond the six-entry barsz[] array.
