Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64085

Published: July 20, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU138548
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64085
CWE-ID: CWE-787
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() when processing device-supplied blackbox records. A local user can provide a device response with more than 64 bytes in a trailing record to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the helper may write up to 255 bytes into a 64-byte record slot before the returned length is validated.
