Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68340)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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 read in the OCC poll response parser in drivers/hwmon/occ/common.c when parsing a truncated transport response. A local user can supply a malformed poll response to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the parser used the backing-array capacity instead of the current response data length as the parse boundary, and malformed-response errors were not propagated before the OCC was published as active.
