CVE-2026-34961 PUBLISHED

barebox ext4 Extent Parsing Out-of-Bounds Read

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 31.03.2026 Published: 11.05.2026 Updated: 11.05.2026

barebox prior to version 2026.04.0 contains out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in ext4 extent parsing due to missing validation of the eh_entries field against buffer capacity in fs/ext4/ext4_common.c. Attackers can supply a malicious ext4 filesystem image via USB, SD card, or network boot to trigger heap out-of-bounds reads during boot-time filesystem parsing, potentially redirecting reads to arbitrary disk offsets.
