Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98575)

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

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to system to trigger an out-of-bounds kernel memory read that may cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in pn533_acr122_is_rx_frame_valid() when validating USB response frames from an ACR122 device. An attacker with physical access to system can supply a crafted USB response through a malicious device with an unchecked frame->ccid.datalen value to read beyond the received buffer and potentially crash the kernel.
