CVE-2026-58100
Last modified
CVE-2026-58100 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. kqueue_fork_copy_knote() indexed into the child's file descriptor table using a knote's file descriptor number without a bounds check. Because the child's table is copied before knotes are transferred, a concurrent thread in the parent could grow the parent's table and register knotes with file descriptor numbers beyond the end of the child's table, causing an out-of-bounds read. 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.
