The above\nout-of-boundary read will go beyond the extent buffer boundary,\ntriggering the above KASAN report.\n\n[FIX]\nValidate the total length of the inlined lzo compressed file extent, to\nmake sure there is at least one LZO header and one segment header, and a\nnon-zero payload.\n\n[ Rework the commit message to remove slop ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/056876c9db1e969bfcf7d8583c7696cc0dd080df","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0fa78ef637deb5dbe341582f88553a4bce496de0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d00c9c1c951ae82d498eabbdfff973252a05c50","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc50b475ad27f50b4dcc98fc4c44e8802bc1b248","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd150d7c8e0ad9d721c011cfd4cc0f3c65bd6834"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74723","score":0.00671,"percentile":0.51751,"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).
