CVE-2026-80962: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: validate geometry fields from on-disk cache_info cache_segs_init() iterates cache_info->n_segs times indexing cache->segments[], which is sized to the cache device geometry, and get_seg_id() takes each segment id from the on-media cache_info and the per-segment next_seg link. A security weakness in the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability is being tracked as CVE-2026-80962. The important point is that running an affected version of the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability creates exposure, while an actual compromise still depends on whether the attacker can reach the trigger conditions described above. For an organization using the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability, the next step is to identify affected versions, map where the vulnerable function is reachable and understand what the affected process can access.
