Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64097

Vulnerability identifier: #VU138544

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64097

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in get_gpio_i2c_info() and bios_parser_get_gpio_pin_info() when parsing a malformed VBIOS GPIO pin LUT table. A local attacker can supply a crafted VBIOS image with an invalid structuresize field to disclose sensitive information.
