CVE-2026-40337 Details
Description
The Sentry kernel is a high security level micro-kernel implementation made for high security embedded systems. A given task with one of the DEV or IO capability is able to interact with another task's IRQ line through the __sys_int_* syscall familly. Prior to version 0.4.7, this can lead to DoS and covert-channels between this task and the outer world. A patch is available in version 0.4.7. As a workaround, reduce tasks that have the DEV and IO capability to a single one.
A vulnerability exists in the Sentry kernel, a micro-kernel designed for high-security embedded systems, prior to version 0.4.7. Tasks with DEV or IO capabilities can improperly interact with another task's IRQ line using the __sys_int_* syscall family. This flaw can cause denial-of-service conditions and create covert channels between the affected task and the external environment.
Users can upgrade to Sentry kernel version 0.4.7 or later to address this vulnerability. For those on versions prior to 0.4.7, it is recommended to limit tasks with DEV and IO capabilities to just one.
