CVE-2026-43006 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Linux kernel io_uring resource handling. validate_fixed_range() accepts a zero-length operation whose buffer address is exactly at the end of a registered region because its bounds check uses a strict greater-than comparison. io_import_fixed() subsequently computes an offset equal to the registered region's length, causing its bio_vec traversal to advance beyond the last entry and read bv_offset from out-of-bounds slab memory. The demonstrated trigger reaches the vulnerable import through io_write_fixed().
