Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98886)

CWE-ID: CWE-252 - Unchecked Return Value

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service by causing HDMI I2C read operations to wait indefinitely.

The vulnerability exists due to unchecked timeout and interruption return values in the xfer_read() function of the Oaktrail HDMI I2C driver when waiting for a read transaction to complete. A local user can trigger an affected read operation under conditions where the interrupt does not advance the transaction state to cause an indefinite wait, potentially blocking subsequent HDMI I2C transfers.
