CVE-2026-93055

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the UDF filesystem's udf_symlink_filler() can enter udf_pc_to_char() with a partial pathComponent header. The fix adds validation that enough input remains for a complete header before accessing it, rejecting malformed symlink data that would otherwise cause an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

Out-of-bounds read can lead to memory disclosure or system crash, especially when mounting malicious UDF images.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that validates the pathComponent header before access.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: UDF symlink pathComponent header OOB read udf_symlink_filler() can enter udf_pc_to_char() with a partial pathComponent header. Validate that enough input remains for a complete pathComponent header before accessing it. Reject malformed symlink data that would otherwise make udf_pc_to_char() perform an out-of-bounds read.
