It came from an AI-assisted code audit of the\nrecovery parser.\n\nxlog_recover_reorder_trans() calls ITEM_TYPE() on the item, which reads\n*(unsigned short *)item->ri_buf[0].iov_base and faults on the NULL\nri_buf.  Reject it there, before the commit handlers that also read\nri_buf[0].\n\n KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]\n RIP: 0010:xlog_recover_reorder_trans (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:1836)\n  xlog_recover_commit_trans (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:2043)\n  xlog_recover_process_data (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:2501)\n  xlog_do_recovery_pass (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:3244)\n  xlog_recover (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:3493)\n  xfs_log_mount (fs/xfs/xfs_log.c:618)\n  xfs_mountfs (fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c:1034)\n  xfs_fs_fill_super (fs/xfs/xfs_super.c:1938)\n  vfs_get_tree (fs/super.c:1695)\n  path_mount (fs/namespace.c:4161)\n  __x64_sys_mount (fs/namespace.c:4367)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2094dab19d45c487285617b7b68913d0cc0c1211","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/226a3c8bea7163c39fe0a1c0ffc7ab7410ef3ba4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5105426424ad6981db827cc1ada835a488fab035","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cccbabeb9a18fcb978d76d6047f2b59214aa7749","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d0ae7ec3aa61db5140b107f0a63e017f63e56a96"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64187","score":0.00114,"percentile":0.01477,"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).
