CVE-2026-93165
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/chrome: sensorhub: Fix memory overread in ring handler
`max_response` and `sensor_num` are read from different EC commands:
With a malfunctioning EC firmware, it is possible that the `msg->insize` (i.e., `fifo_info_length` in the context) could be clamped in cros_ec_cmd_xfer() because `msg->insize` is greater than `max_response`.
This means the number of read bytes could be less than expected. As a result, the subsequent memcpy() in cros_ec_sensorhub_ring_handler() overreads the `resp->fifo_info` buffer.
Check the return value of cros_ec_cmd_xfer_status() and abort if the number of bytes read does not match the expected length.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
- `max_response` is from cros_ec_get_proto_info().
ec_dev->max_response = info->max_response_packet_size -
sizeof(struct ec_host_response);
- `sensor_num` is from cros_ec_get_sensor_count().
sensor_num = cros_ec_get_sensor_count(ec);
int fifo_info_length =
sizeof(struct ec_response_motion_sense_fifo_info) +
sizeof(u16) * sensorhub->sensor_num;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: 0.19%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 8
- 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 escalation85 % - Impacto principal

Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L, PR:N) que permite lectura de memoria del kernel a través de overread en buffer, sin necesidad de privilegios previos. La pista sugiere T1068 (escalada); sin embargo, el overread de memoria permite acceso a datos confidenciales del kernel (C:H), clasificándose como T1005 (
