CVE-2026-49427 is a FreeBSD kernel memory-safety vulnerability in POSIX largepage shared memory object handling. According to the provided advisory context, pages belonging to largepage shared memory objects were not explicitly wired. When sendfile(2) transmitted such an object with the SF_NOCACHE flag, the kernel could free the underlying pages after transmission even though existing mappings still still referenced them. This creates a use-after-free condition in kernel memory management involving largepage-backed shared memory objects and the sendfile path.
