Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-74271

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142921

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-2026-74271

CWE-ID: CWE-787

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in __power_supply_populate_supplied_from when processing a device tree property with multiple power-supplies values. A local user can provide a crafted device tree configuration to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires the system to process a device tree configuration in which the power-supplies property contains multiple values.
