Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46293)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in mpfs_ccc_register_outputs() in the Microchip PolarFire SoC clock driver when registering clock outputs. A local user can trigger registration of affected outputs to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs during registration of the last two outputs because sparse clock IDs are packed into the hws array.
