CVE-2026-43474 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-43474: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: init flags_valid before calling vfs_fileattr_get syzbot reported a uninit-value bug in [1]. Similar to the "*get" context where the kernel's internal file_kattr structure is initialized before calling vfs_fileattr_get(), we should use the same mechanism when using fa. [1] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in fuse_fileattr_get+0xeb4/0x1450 fs/fuse/ioctl.c:517 fuse_fileattr_get+0xeb4/0x1450 fs/fuse/ioctl.c:517 vfs_fileattr_get fs/file_attr.c:94 [inline] __do_sys_file_getattr fs/file_attr.c:416 [inline] Local variable fa.i created at: __do_sys_file_getattr fs/file_attr.c:380 [inline] __se_sys_file_getattr+0x8c/0xbd0 fs/file_attr.c:372

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-43474

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-43474 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-43474

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-43474.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-43474, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
