Description
CVE-2026-62428 is a vulnerability involving grant-copy operations where a grant may be concurrently used by multiple operations, causing inconsistent permission checks and copy actions. This inconsistency arises because the permission check might be performed on a different page than the one actually involved in the copy operation. The issue can lead to a critical security flaw where confidentiality, integrity, and availability are all impacted.
