Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80916)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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 improper handling of allocation failure in KCOV initialization and remote-start handling when remote KCOV collection is initiated after initialization buffer allocation fails. A local user can invoke remote KCOV collection from a non-task context to cause a denial of service.

Out-of-bounds access requires the configured remote coverage size to be smaller than CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE.
