Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64483

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139461

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64483

CWE-ID: CWE-787

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read and out-of-bounds write in isight_packet() when processing crafted FireWire isochronous packets from a device on the bus during normal capture. An attacker with physical access can provide a malicious device that reports an oversized sample count to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires a malicious or faulty Apple iSight device connected on the FireWire bus.
