Subject: CVE-2026-43449: nvme-pci: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_dbbuf_set
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 16:22:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026050857-CVE-2026-43449-d2ed@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_dbbuf_set
dev->online_queues is a count incremented in nvme_init_queue. Thus,
valid indices are 0 through dev->online_queues − 1.
This patch fixes the loop condition to ensure the index stays within the
valid range. Index 0 is excluded because it is the admin queue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
