CVE-2026-43150

7.8 · HIGH
Published May 6, 2026 linux CWE-787 EPSS 0.14% (4th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-43150 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 6, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

perf/arm-cmn: Reject unsupported hardware configurations

So far we've been fairly lax about accepting both unknown CMN models

(at least with a warning), and unknown revisions of those which we

do know, as although things do frequently change between releases,

typically enough remains the same to be somewhat useful for at least

some basic bringup checks. However, we also make assumptions of the

maximum supported sizes and numbers of things in various places, and

there's no guarantee that something new might not be bigger and lead

to nasty array overflows. Make sure we only try to run on things that

actually match our assumptions and so will not risk memory corruption.

We have at least always failed on completely unknown node types, so

update that error message for clarity and consistency too.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
