CVE-2026-80933

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7996: validate default EEPROM firmware size

The default EEPROM firmware is parsed and copied as a full EEPROM without checking its length. A truncated file can make the driver read beyond the firmware buffer during variant validation or the fallback copy.

Reject files shorter than MT7996_EEPROM_SIZE before parsing or copying the firmware.

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: 0.13%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
