Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89608

Vulnerability identifier: #VU149201

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89608

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform an out-of-bounds read.

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking in ecryptfs_parse_packet_set() when parsing an eCryptfs version 1 file header. A local user can trigger parsing of an eCryptfs version 1 file header to perform an out-of-bounds read.
