CVE-2026-58099
Last modified
CVE-2026-58099 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. When copying knotes from a parent kqueue to a child, the copy code did not correctly exclude marker knotes (used internally to track list traversal position) before marking them as in-flux and releasing the kqueue lock. If another thread freed a marker while the lock was dropped, the subsequent in-flux decrement operated on freed memory. An unprivileged local user may be able to exploit these races to escalate privileges.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
