CVE-2026-68401
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Fix out-of-bound writes in ffa_setup_and_transmit()
2) Make sure there is enough size to write constituents.
While at it, convert the only sizeof() in the driver that uses a type instead of variable.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
Sashiko (locally) reports multiple out-of-bound issues in ffa_setup_and_transmit: 1) Writing ep_mem_access->reserved can write out of bounds for FFA versions < 1.2 as ffa_emad_size_get() returns 16 bytes in that case while reserved has an offset of 24. Instead of zeroing fields, memset the struct to zero first based on the FFA version.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.17%
