Last modified

CVE-2026-49430 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The ZFS_IOC_RECV_NEW ioctl, in the heal receive path, similarly truncated a 64-bit payload size to a 32-bit integer for allocation, then used the original 64-bit size as the length for a byteswap operation. A local user with the "receive" delegated ZFS permission can trigger kernel memory corruption via ZFS_IOC_RECV_NEW by sending a crafted receive stream in heal mode.. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
