Description Ganesh 2026-10-14 16:04:00 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.

A flaw was found in DPDK lib/vhost vhost-crypto. The indirect-descriptor snapshot still double-fetches src_desc->next: it checks the index, then indexes the live guest table with a second read. A guest can change next after the check and force an out-of-bounds access. This is a remaining TOCTOU after CVE-2020-14375, not that ID.
