CVE-2026-0028

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.4)—

In __pkvm_host_share_guest of mem_protect.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 8.4

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 4
Score date: 10/5/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
