CVE-2026-72106: Linux

EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-ioctl: fix a possible overflow in list_version_get_info sizeof(tt->version) is 12 bytes, but the code writes 16 bytes into the output buffer - info->vers->version[0], info->vers->version[1], info->vers->version[2] and info->vers->next. This can cause buffer overflow. Fix this buffer overflow by replacing "sizeof(tt->version)" with "sizeof(struct dm_target_versions)".

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 2.6.12, before 6.6.145 (fixed in 6.6.145); from 6.7, before 6.12.97 (fixed in 6.12.97); from 6.13, before 6.18.40 (fixed in 6.18.40); from 6.19, before 7.1.5 (fixed in 7.1.5)
