Overview

CVE-2026-93246 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

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

octeontx2-af: fix out-of-bounds read setting MSI-X irq affinity

rvu_register_interrupts() walks every MSI-X vector and uses strstr()

to match "Mbox" or "FLR" in irq_name before pinning those interrupts

to CPU 0. irq_name is a per-vector NAME_SIZE buffer, but not every

slot is populated before this loop runs. strstr() keeps scanning until

it finds a NUL terminator, so an uninitialized slot can trigger a KASAN

slab-out-of-bounds read at boot when debug options are enabled.

Use strnstr() with NAME_SIZE to bound the search within each vector's

name buffer.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93246?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93246 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
