FreeBSD compat32 kevent stack leak vulnerability
CVE-2026-49425 Published on August 19, 2026
Kernel stack disclosure in 32-bit compatibility support
The compat32 kevent() handler translates a 64-bit kevent struct into a stack- declared 32-bit struct. It did not first zero the stack struct.
An unprivileged user may observe a small amount of uninitialized kernel stack data, which may contain sensitive information.
Weakness Type
Use of Uninitialized Resource
The software uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized. When a resource has not been properly initialized, the software may behave unexpectedly. This may lead to a crash or invalid memory access, but the consequences vary depending on the type of resource and how it is used within the software.
