CVE-2026-89466
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: qcom_battmgr: terminate the strings from firmware
The qcom_battmgr_sc8280xp_strcpy() takes a Pascal-style string when the firmware sends one. Otherwise it copies all BATTMGR_STRING_LEN bytes and leaves the destination without a terminator.
Those destinations are model_number, serial_number and oem_info, each BATTMGR_STRING_LEN and declared next to each other. They go out to user space as val->strval, which power_supply_format_property() prints with "%s", so a firmware string that fills the whole field makes that read run into the following members.

Use strscpy() so the copy always terminates, the way the SM8350 path already does for the same field.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- 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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation75 % - Impacto principal
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection70 % - Impacto secundario
T1552.001Credentials In Filescredential access65 %
AV:L sin UI requiere T1068. Lectura de memoria no terminada (strval sin terminator) permite leer datos adyacentes en kernel, incluyendo información sensible de firmware (serial, modelo, OEM).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
