Summary
CVE-2026-43197 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netconsole: avoid OOB reads, msg is not nul-terminated

msg passed to netconsole from the console subsystem is not guaranteed to be nul-terminated. Before recent commit 7eab73b18630 ("netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure") the message would be placed in printksharedpbufs, a static global buffer, so KASAN had harder time catching OOB accesses. Now we see:

printk: console [netcon_ext0] enabled
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in string+0x1f7/0x240
