Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53202)

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

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow in the ivpu_ipc_receive function when processing firmware-supplied IPC message data. A local user can supply a crafted data_size value to trigger an oversized memcpy operation and execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires control over firmware-supplied message data.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53264)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 a use-after-free in the net/sched action lifecycle handling in act_api when NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER are run concurrently. A local user can trigger concurrent filter operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises from a race between action lookup and action deletion under RCU-protected access.


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63887)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in iscsi_encode_text_output() when processing iSCSI login text parameters. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted login request with many minimal key-value pairs to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered by expansion of unknown keys into larger "NotUnderstood" response records during login negotiation.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64300)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in map_range() in the perf subsystem when mapping auxiliary buffer pages shared between events. A local user can trigger a race between buffer allocation and page mapping to cause a use-after-free condition.

The issue arises when multiple events share one ring buffer via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, and pages mapped as VM_PFNMAP lack refcount protection.
