AI-suggested
A fix is available and has been applied in Linux kernel versions 3.18 and 3.19 and corresponding stable releases. Users should upgrade to these fixed kernel versions to mitigate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required as the patch properly rejects malformed continuation extents.
Description
CVE-2026-46303 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ISO 9660 filesystem driver (isofs) where the Rock Ridge CE continuation extent is not properly validated against the volume size. This allows a crafted ISO image to cause the driver to read out-of-range blocks or blocks from adjacent filesystems, potentially leaking limited filesystem data. The issue is mitigated by adding bounds checks on the continuation extent block number. The vulnerability has been fixed in Linux kernel versions 3.18 and 3.19 and related stable branches.
