SB20260727304 - Stack-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel input touchscreen driver

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64270)

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to overwrite stack memory and cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow in mms114_interrupt() when processing a device-reported packet size from the touchscreen controller over the I2C bus. A local attacker can tamper with the I2C bus or use a malicious controller to supply an oversized packet size to overwrite stack memory and cause a denial of service.

The out-of-bounds write occurs on the IRQ-thread stack and may overwrite the stack canary, saved registers, and the return address.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
