CVE-2026-43071

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dcache component. When the 'dhash_entries' parameter is set to one, an out-of-bounds (OOB) read occurs in the dentry_hashtable. This issue arises due to an incorrect calculation of the 'd_hash_shift' value, causing the system to attempt to access unallocated memory. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a kernel panic, leading to a denial of service (DoS).
