Both come from cache device metadata that is\nonly CRC-protected with a fixed public seed, so whoever supplies the\ncache device on a table load (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) controls them: an oversized\nn_segs or an out-of-range id drives an out-of-bounds access of\ncache->segments[] and a wild CACHE_DEV_SEGMENT() pointer into the device\nmapping -- an out-of-bounds read and write from on-disk data.\n\nReject an n_segs that exceeds the device segment count and a segment id\nthat is out of range before either is used. Valid metadata is unaffected.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-11T19:42:28.5+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T08:45:46.216+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/md/dm-pcache/cache.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"1d57628ff95b32d5cfa8d8f50e07690c161e9cf0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"ab5dcde6fa96bc115b85f3621c60e39c66229a90\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"1d57628ff95b32d5cfa8d8f50e07690c161e9cf0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"3e19172089ec81132a8a48e802b1034a744209f4\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"1d57628ff95b32d5cfa8d8f50e07690c161e9cf0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"32d1809da31094ef76fd98dc1f1a8b55ca1295dd\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/md/dm-pcache/cache.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.18\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"6.18\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.18.50\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.4\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ab5dcde6fa96bc115b85f3621c60e39c66229a90","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e19172089ec81132a8a48e802b1034a744209f4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32d1809da31094ef76fd98dc1f1a8b55ca1295dd"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-80962","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-80962","identifiers":["CVE-2026-80962"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
