CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-46284
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: fix early boot crash on parameters without '=' separator
If hugepages, hugepagesz, or default_hugepagesz are specified on the
kernel command line without the '=' separator, early parameter parsing
passes NULL to hugetlb_add_param(), which dereferences it in strlen() and
can crash the system during early boot.
Reject NULL values in hugetlb_add_param() and return -EINVAL instead.
