CVE-2026-43153

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem. The xfs_attr_leaf_hasname() function has a problematic calling convention that can lead to incorrect buffer handling. This issue can result in the use of already released memory buffers, potentially causing memory corruption or system instability. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.

Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «xfs» as described in COMMENT_ZERO. Fixes are delivered through standard kernel errata for supported products. Operational exposure depends on whether this subsystem or driver is active in your configuration.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this issue, prevent the xfs module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
