Official Description

NetBSD prior to commit ec8451e contains a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the cryptodev_op() function in sys/opencrypto/cryptodev.c where the local variable iov_len is declared as a signed int but assigned from an unsigned cop->dst_len value, causing undefined behavior when cop->dst_len exceeds INT_MAX. A local attacker with access to /dev/crypto and a compression session type can exploit this vulnerability by providing a dst_len value exceeding INT_MAX to trigger a kernel panic through NULL pointer dereference when CONFIG_SVS is disabled and corrupted UIO pointer arithmetic.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-32849 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
