That earlier\nfix was assigned CVE-2025-37780.\n\nsb_bread() on an out-of-range block returns NULL cleanly via the\nEIO path, so there is no memory-safety violation.  For in-range\nreads of adjacent-partition data on the same block device, the\nunrelated bytes end up in iso_inode_info fields that reach the NFS\nclient as dentry metadata.  The deployment surface (isofs exported\nover NFS from loop-mounted images) is narrow and requires an\nauthenticated NFS peer, but the malformed-file-handle class is\nreportable as hardening next to the existing CVE-2025-37780 fix.\n\nReject block >= ISOFS_SB(sb)->s_nzones in isofs_export_iget() so\nthe check covers both isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent()\ncall sites with a single line.","published":"2026-05-28T10:16:28.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T20:18:33.000Z","status":"Undergoing Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-125"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00476,"percentile":0.40845,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%).
