Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-46107)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506289

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm-thin: fix metadata refcount underflow

There's a bug in dm-thin in the function rebalance_children. If the internal btree node has one entry, the code tries to copy all btree entries from the node's child to the node itself and then decrement the child's reference count.

If the child node is shared (it has reference count > 1), we won't free it, so there would be two pointers to each of the grandchildren nodes.
But the reference counts of the grandchildren is not increased, thus the reference count doesn't match the number of pointers that point to the grandchildren. This results in 'device mapper: space map common: unable to decrement block' errors.

Fix this bug by incrementing reference counts on the grandchildren if the btree node is shared.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
