GHSA-FP4G-WH5W-9XF4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-15 15:30 – Updated: 2026-08-19 18:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
keys: fix out-of-bounds read in keyring_get_key_chunk()
For description-level chunks keyring_get_key_chunk() advances the read pointer by level * sizeof(long) past the inline prefix but only bounds-checks the prefix, so a long enough key description is read past its kmemdup(desc, desc_len + 1) allocation. Compute the full byte offset and bounds-check the description against it before reading.
The walk only reaches a description-level chunk when two keys collide through the hash, x, type and domain_tag chunks, so this is reached from an unprivileged add_key(2) with a crafted pair of same-type keys whose index hashes collide; KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds read.
