text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

The directory and Rock Ridge / SUSP walk in libfsimage's iso9660 driver
derives several lengths directly from attacker-controlled on-disk fields
without validating them:

* The directory loop itself assumes a good record length. This is
CVE-2026-42494.

* The calculation of the System Use area may underflow. This is
CVE-2026-42495.

* The Rock Ridge extension loop assumes a good (inner) record length.
This is CVE-2026-62423.

* The Rock Ridge NM record processing assumes a good entry length.
This is CVE-2026-62424.

* The Rock Ridge CE record processing assumes a good size and offset.
This is CVE-2026-62425.

Workaround

XSA-443 added a mechanism to run pygrub de-privileged. Using this mode will mitigate the vulnerability. Ensuring that guests do not use the pygrub bootloader will avoid this vulnerability. For cases where the PV guest is known to be 64bit, and uses grub2 as a bootloader, pvgrub is a suitable alternative to pygrub. Running only HVM or PVH guests will avoid the vulnerability.
