CVE-2026-6426
NVD: A type mismatch vulnerability was found in QEMU's vhost inflight migration VMState handling. NVD: The destination buffer size is stored as a uint64_t but read by the VMS_VBUFFER load path as a signed int32_t. NVD: On little-endian hosts, a crafted incoming migration state with bit 31 set causes the value to be interpreted as negative and then implicitly converted to a very large size_t, leading qemu_get_buffer() to copy migration-stream data beyond the bounds of the...
