CVE-2026-23269
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: validate DFA start states are in bounds in unpack_pdb
Start states are read from untrusted data and used as indexes into the DFA state tables. The aa_dfa_next() function call in unpack_pdb() will access dfa->tables[YYTD_ID_BASE][start], and if the start state exceeds the number of states in the DFA, this results in an out-of-bound read.
Reject policies with out-of-bounds start states during unpacking to prevent the issue.
