CVE-2026-43248: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost: move vdpa group bound check to vhost_vdpa Remove duplication by consolidating these here. This reduces the posibility of a parent driver missing them. While we're at it, fix a bug in vdpa_sim where a valid ASID can be assigned to a group equal to ngroups, causing an out of bound write.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.19, before 6.12.75 (fixed in 6.12.75); from 6.13, before 6.18.16 (fixed in 6.18.16); from 6.19, before 6.19.6 (fixed in 6.19.6)
