How severe is CVE-2026-64432?

CVE-2026-64432 has a CVSS score of 7.8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-64432?

CVE-2026-64432 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-64432?

Update Kernel to 5.15.212 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-64432 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-64432 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-64432 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-64432?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-64432 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-64432 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-64432 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was CVE-2026-64432 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-64432 was published on July 25, 2026 and was last updated on July 28, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: validate Dirty Page Table capacity in log_replay copy_lcns

In the analysis pass of $LogFile journal replay, log_replay() copies LCNs from each action log record into an existing Dirty Page Table (DPT) entry without bounding the destination index. A crafted NTFS image with DPT entry lcns_follow=1 and an action log record with lcns_follow=2 produces a kernel slab out-of-bounds write at mount time:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in log_replay+0x654c/0xdb60 Write of size 8 at addr ffff8880095e1040 by task mount

Two attacker-controlled fields can drive j+i past the allocated page_lcns[] array:

dp->lcns_follow (capacity) can be smaller than lrh->lcns_follow.
lrh->target_vcn may be smaller than dp->vcn, making the u64 subtraction wrap to a huge size_t.

Validate target VCN delta and per-record LCN count against the DPT entry capacity, bail via the existing out: cleanup label with -EINVAL.

This mirrors the bounds-check pattern added in commit b2bc7c44ed17 ("fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in DeleteIndexEntryRoot") and commit 0ca0485e4b2e ("fs/ntfs3: validate rec->used in journal-replay file record check").
