Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64276

Published: July 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU139705
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64276
CWE-ID: CWE-125
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read and out-of-bounds write in the rmi_f30_attention handler and EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctl handling in the synaptics-rmi4 F30 driver when processing a device that reports a gpioled_count greater than 6 with GPIO support enabled. A local user can trigger the attention interrupt or use EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctls to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because the keymap allocation is smaller than the gpioled_count value used for iteration and keycode bounds.
