Severity by source
AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Attack arrives via block-device metadata (AV:L); no target-system privileges needed to supply malicious storage (PR:N); automated LVM scans require no user action (UI:N); impact is pure availability - process crash, no data exposure (C:N/I:N/A:H).
Primary rating from Vendor (redhat).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in libdm. A remote attacker could craft a malicious Logical Volume Manager (LVM) metadata configuration with deeply nested structures. This could lead to uncontrolled recursion in the libdm configuration file parser, exhausting the stack and causing any LVM command reading the metadata to crash. This vulnerability results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems.
AnalysisAI
Stack exhaustion in libdm's LVM metadata configuration parser allows any LVM command processing attacker-crafted block device metadata to crash, resulting in denial of service on affected Linux systems. The flaw is exploitable in shared storage, SAN, or virtualization environments where an adversary can supply a maliciously structured block device to a target system running LVM2. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two concrete preconditions: (1) the target system must use LVM and have the libdm-based LVM2 stack installed and active; (2) the attacker must be able to write or present a block device containing crafted LVM metadata to the target system - this implies control over shared storage infrastructure (SAN, iSCSI, NFS-backed VM images, or hypervisor-controlled virtual disks), not direct network socket access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 5.7) contains three significant inconsistencies with the vulnerability description: (1) the vector records no availability impact (A:N) despite an explicitly described crash/DoS outcome; (2) it records confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:L/I:L) not supported by the description, which attributes only DoS; and (3) the 'remote attacker' framing in the description conflicts with AV:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Monitor the Red Hat Security Advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-19617 for patched lvm2/device-mapper package versions; apply updates via dnf update lvm2 device-mapper once a patched release is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
