CVE-2026-46003
Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: May 27, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: ns: Limit the total number of nodes
Currently, the nameserver doesn't limit the number of nodes it handles.
This can be an attack vector if a malicious client starts registering
random nodes, leading to memory exhaustion.
Hence, limit the maximum number of nodes to 64. Note that, limit of 64 is
chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes
in the future, this limit can be increased.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46003 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
