Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64448

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139495
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-2026-64448
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 smb2_check_message() and subsequent SMB client protocol decoders when processing crafted SMB2 responses with a data area. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted SMB server response to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is reachable during NEGOTIATE and SESSION_SETUP before the session is established, including through the SPNEGO/negTokenInit and NTLMSSP challenge decoders when mounting against a non-conforming server.
