CVE-2026-5164
MEDIUMVirtio-win: virtio-win: denial of service via unvalidated descriptor count in unmap request
Title source: cnaDescription
A flaw was found in virtio-win. The `RhelDoUnMap()` function does not properly validate the number of descriptors provided by a user during an unmap request. A local user could exploit this input validation vulnerability by supplying an excessive number of descriptors, leading to a buffer overrun. This can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
