Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93095
Published: September 18, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of catalog thread records in hfsplus_delete_cat() when rebuilding a catalog key from a corrupted HFS+ image. A local user can supply a corrupted HFS+ image with an oversized thread name length to cause an out-of-bounds write.
