Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64086)

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

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() and read_buf in the adm1266 PMBus driver when processing a max-length block read response with a PEC byte. A local user can trigger the driver to process a crafted response to cause a denial of service.

The same condition can also cause an out-of-bounds read during the subsequent PEC comparison.
