The memory allocated for the copy needs to\nbe rounded to DMA cache alignment, as otherwise the hashed key may\ncorrupt neighbouring memory.\n\nThe rounding was performed, but never actually used for the allocation.\nFix this by replacing kmemdup with kmalloc for a larger buffer,\nfollowed by memcpy.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ddfdcbe10dc5f97afc4e46ca22be2be717e8caf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68feed135a0c7243a9275ae7e6a18260f755f52b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a7ecf06d3ee06e9b3322e1e7b003ea5c6f6e135a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0c133e0225d87aad326bb90bbce9bdd6fde3cbb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f2af8be110bde26b3e3354efdfdda97f426306a4"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43044","score":0.0012,"percentile":0.01796,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
