Description
CVE-2026-47333 is a high-severity vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux versions 6.8.0, 6.17.0, and 7.0.0 involving an out-of-bounds read in the AppArmor notification handling code. The issue arises from incorrect computation of an internal buffer size due to AppArmor SAUCE patches, allowing an unprivileged local user to trigger a heap memory out-of-bounds read. This can cause invalid data to be processed by the AppArmor DFA policy engine, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
