Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80574)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in focaltech_process_rel_packet when processing crafted input packets. A remote attacker can trigger a finger index underflow to write before the bounds-checked array and to execute arbitrary code.
The issue occurs because subtracting 1 from a packet finger index of 0 can produce an invalid array index that targets state->fingers[-1].
Remediation
