CVE-2026-74383
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: fix out-of-bounds access in nvme_setup_descriptor_pools
nvme_setup_descriptor_pools() indexes dev->descriptor_pools[] using the numa_node forwarded from hctx->numa_node by its single caller, nvme_init_hctx_common(). On a non-NUMA kernel hctx->numa_node is NUMA_NO_NODE (-1). Because the parameter was declared 'unsigned', the value becomes UINT_MAX and the index walks off the array (sized to nr_node_ids), faulting during nvme_alloc_ns() and leaving the namespace without a /dev node.
Reproduces on any NVMe controller probed by a CONFIG_NUMA=n kernel:

Switch the parameter to int and fall back to node 0 when it is NUMA_NO_NODE; node 0 is always present.
