CVE-2026-43449 is an out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel NVMe PCI driver’s doorbell-buffer setup path. The affected logic treats dev->online_queues, which is a queue count incremented during queue initialization, as though it were a valid array index boundary. Valid queue indices range from 0 through online_queues minus one; queue 0 is the administrative queue and should be excluded from the I/O-queue iteration. An incorrect loop condition permits access past the allocated queue-related array during nvme_dbbuf_set, including through the nvme_dbbuf_free path invoked while NVMe reset work is processed. KASAN detected a two-byte read beyond the allocated object.
