CVE-2026-49425
Kernel stack disclosure in 32-bit compatibility support
The compat32 kevent() handler translates a 64-bit kevent struct into a stack- declared 32-bit struct. It did not first zero the stack struct.
An unprivileged user may observe a small amount of uninitialized kernel stack data, which may contain sensitive information.
