CVE-2026-64187 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-64187: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fail recovery on a committed log item with no regions If the first op of a transaction is a bare transaction header (len == sizeof(struct xfs_trans_header)), xlog_recover_add_to_trans() adds an item but no region, leaving it on r_itemq with ri_cnt == 0 and ri_buf == NULL. The header can be split across op records, so later ops may still add regions; the item is only invalid if the transaction commits with none. The runtime commit path never emits such a transaction, so this only happens on a crafted log. It came from an AI-assisted code audit of the recovery parser. xlog_recover_reorder_trans() calls ITEM_TYPE() on the item, which reads *(unsigned short *)item->ri_buf[0].iov_base and faults on the NULL ri_buf. Reject it there, before the commit handlers that also read ri_buf[0]. KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:xlog_recover_reorder_trans (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:1836) xlog_recover_commit_trans (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:2043) xlog_recover_process_data (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:2501) xlog_do_recovery_pass (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:3244) xlog_recover (fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c:3493) xfs_log_mount (fs/xfs/xfs_log.c:618) xfs_mountfs (fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c:1034) xfs_fs_fill_super (fs/xfs/xfs_super.c:1938) vfs_get_tree (fs/super.c:1695) path_mount (fs/namespace.c:4161) __x64_sys_mount (fs/namespace.c:4367)

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-64187

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-64187 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-2026-64187

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-64187.

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-2026-64187, 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.
