CVE-2026-43365

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem. This vulnerability arises when the filesystem superblock, which contains critical metadata, does not correctly specify a log stripe unit. This can lead to undersized log roundoff values, causing log corruption. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by manipulating the on-disk superblock, resulting in unmountable filesystems and a Denial of Service (DoS).

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.
