Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98634)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98634). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sd_zbc: Reject disks with too many zones
sd_zbc_read_zones() computes the number of zones with 64-bit arithmetic and
stores the result in the unsigned int nr_zones field of struct
zoned_disk_info, silently truncating counts that exceed 32 bits. The
truncated count is later used to size per-zone resources, while the device
may still report more zones than fit.
Moreover, sd_zbc_report_zones() counts the reported zones with a signed int
zone_idx, which overflows past INT_MAX. Reject devices reporting more than
INT_MAX zones at scan time; such a device is not realistic for any medium
that exists today, and accepting it produces inconsistent zone bookkeeping.
