CVE-2026-64015

7.8 · HIGH
Published Jul 19, 2026 EPSS 0.16% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-64015 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 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:

security/keys: fix missed RCU read section on lookup

Nicholas Carlini reports that the keyring code calls assoc_array_find()

in find_key_to_update() without holding the RCU read lock, while the

assoc_array_gc() code really is designed around removing the node from

the tree and then freeing it after an RCU grace-period.

The regular key handling doesn't see this because holding the keyring

semaphore hides any lifetime issues, but the persistent key handling

uses a different model.

Instead of extending the keyring locking, just do the simple RCU locking

that the assoc_array was designed for.
