Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-92496

Vulnerability identifier: #VU151029

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-92496

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to read out-of-bounds memory.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in ath11k_wmi_tlv_op_rx() when processing a firmware buffer shorter than a WMI command header. A local user can supply a malformed firmware buffer to read out-of-bounds memory.
