Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89846
Published: September 17, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in qla2x00_status_entry() in the qla2xxx SCSI driver when processing an FCP response containing an oversized response information length. A remote attacker can send a crafted FCP response with an oversized rsp_info_len value to disclose sensitive information.
