{"cve":"CVE-2026-93095","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-17T17:18:03.557","modified":"2026-10-19T10:16:59.273","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhfsplus: validate thread record before delete key rebuild\n\nhfsplus_delete_cat() is called with str == NULL when the last open\nreference to an unlinked HFS+ hardlink backing inode is closed. In that\ncase, the function finds the catalog thread by CNID and rebuilds the\ncatalog key from thread.nodeName.\n\nThat reconstruction path reads thread.nodeName.length directly from the\ncatalog B-tree into fd.search_key and then copies length * 2 bytes into\nfd.search_key->cat.name.unicode. It does not first check that the found\nrecord is a thread record or that its size matches the thread name.\n\nA corrupted image can therefore provide an oversized thread name length\nand make hfs_bnode_read() write past the catalog search-key allocation.\n\nRead the CNID record through hfsplus_brec_read_cat(), which bounds the\nrecord read to sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry) and verifies that a thread\nrecord's size exactly matches nodeName.length. Together, these checks\nensure an accepted thread name fits HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. Reject non-thread\nrecords before building the delete key from the validated thread name.\n\nShare the thread-record-type helper between hfsplus_find_cat() and\nhfsplus_delete_cat().","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/33cda0036bc683fc888c20b04a5fc030e3e8413b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/473ea7aa35615829f0de7a71e8691d69dc24e328","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7898beee166c1145c0bca364d687b8437435bf1a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/af48abc1b00d865c3f4c4d76b901c44115cb7162","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9729c51a8b67f8b20b8a8cf395da4be63a0c15b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-93095","score":0.00176,"percentile":0.0705,"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).
