CVE-2026-49428 in FreeBSDinfo

Summary

by MITRE • 08/19/2026

Certain system calls, such open(2) with the O_TRUNC flag set, and fspacectl(2), could incorrectly free memory in largepage objects. These operations are not permitted on largepage objects, but the implementation did not verify this.

An unprivileged local user can abuse the bug to access freed kernel memory. This can be exploited to escalate privileges.

If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
