Description Ganesh 2026-07-28 17:52:13 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the
text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

With the introduction of Grant Table v2 came the requirement to be able to
switch between versions.  Switching from v1 to v2 reduces the number of
valid grant references, as a bigger shared entry structure is then needed
while the shared table doesn't change size.  Switching from v2 back to v1
the status frames, which are separate in v2, go away.

Code holding, but intermediately dropping and then re-acquiring the grant
table lock, sometimes wrongly assumes that said properties wouldn't change
across the window in time where the lock is not being held.

The v1 -> v2 issue is CVE-2026-62435.

The v2 -> v1 issue is CVE-2026-62436.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
