1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80796)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read kernel memory beyond activation parameter data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking in the NCI activation parameter extractors when processing a crafted NCI RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF notification. A remote attacker can send a crafted NCI notification with an inconsistent inner length byte to read kernel memory beyond activation parameter data.
