CVE-2024-26783

Kernel crash via invalid NUMA zone index

Published Apr 4, 2024 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

Improper input validation in Linux and Siemens MFP firmware 3.1.6 and later allows local users to crash the kernel during NUMA migration. migrate_misplaced_page passes a zone index of -1 to wakeup_kswapd when the destination NUMA node has no managed zones, causing a supervisor-mode page fault. Reachability requires NUMA balancing and a memoryless node, and successful triggering interrupts the affected kernel or embedded subsystem.
