CVE-2026-46182: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pseries/papr-hvpipe: Prevent kernel stack memory leak to userspace The hdr variable is allocated on the stack and only hdr.version and hdr.flags are initialized explicitly. Because the struct papr_hvpipe_hdr contains reserved padding bytes (reserved[3] and reserved2[40]), these could leak the uninitialized bytes to userspace after copy_to_user(). This patch fixes that by initializing the whole struct to 0.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.18, before 6.18.30 (fixed in 6.18.30); from 6.19, before 7.0.7 (fixed in 7.0.7); version 7.1 only
