{"cve":"CVE-2026-74312","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T06:22:31.310","modified":"2026-10-16T19:17:38.517","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvhost/vdpa: validate virtqueue index in mmap and fault paths\n\nvhost_vdpa_mmap() and vhost_vdpa_fault() use vma->vm_pgoff as a\nvirtqueue index for get_vq_notification(), but they do not validate\nthat the index is smaller than v->nvqs.\n\nThe ioctl path already performs both a bounds check and\narray_index_nospec(), but the mmap/fault path only checks that the\nindex fits in u16. This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach\ndriver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks.\n\nFix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification()\nhelper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies\narray_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback. Both the\nmmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is\nconsolidated into a single location.\n\nFrom source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds\naccess in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN\nremaps and crash/DoS.","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/0f310bac6db9bd3bb1655707d692d9d2a86eeb17","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f5f94c6c6b2e4eaa5b45815509e21d0c6cfa81e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b3f79b90b231a682315fe2191bb71925650e183","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32ac9097aa2463fcfc12f61cc4a9ebc3579cba7d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bf5a51963ff816f7443702dc536b9327cf5e550"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74312","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.07048,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
