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.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
