CVE-2026-49429
Last modified
CVE-2026-49429 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The ZFS_IOC_USERSPACE_MANY ioctl, used by zfs-userspace(8), truncated a 64-bit output buffer size to a 32-bit integer for the kernel allocation, but used the original 64-bit size as the buffer limit when writing records. A local user with the "userused" delegated ZFS permission can trigger a kernel heap overflow via the ZFS_IOC_USERSPACE_MANY ioctl, potentially escalating privileges.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
