CVE-2026-43210

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tracing ring-buffer subsystem. This vulnerability occurs in the rb_read_data_buffer() function, which fails to validate the length of an event before using it to determine the next memory address. If an event's length is corrupted, this can lead to an invalid memory access during system boot, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the system.

Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «tracing» 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.
