Kernel memory disclosure via overwritten integrity vector count
Published Jul 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 19, 2026
An out-of-bounds read in the Linux Kernel block-integrity path allows local users to expose kernel memory through crafted integrity I/O. bio_integrity_copy_user() replaces the bounce segment's bip_vcnt with nr_vecs although bip_max_vcnt is one, so write-side gap-merge checks read beyond bip_vec[]. Reachability requires access to an integrity-capable block device; the resulting invalid read can disclose adjacent kernel heap data or crash the host.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
