CVE-2026-49425 is an uninitialized-memory disclosure vulnerability in FreeBSD's compat32 kevent() handler. While translating a 64-bit kevent structure into a stack-allocated 32-bit representation, the handler failed to zero-initialize the destination structure. Consequently, uninitialized bytes from kernel stack memory can be returned or otherwise exposed through the compatibility interface.
