What is CVE-2026-107565?

A flaw exists in the Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) system utilized by Red Hat, which can be exploited by a local attacker with administrative privileges. The vulnerability stems from improper boundary calculations and flawed overlap detection when writing metadata to LUKS devices. This flaw may allow an attacker to write new metadata entries beyond the allocated free space or overwrite existing records. Consequently, this could lead to corruption of stored encrypted payload data or existing metadata, making the affected data potentially inaccessible.
