CVE-2026-43150 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/arm-cmn: Reject unsupported hardware configurations So far we've been fairly lax about accepting both unknown CMN models (at least with a warning), and unknown revisions of those which we do know, as although things do frequently change between releases, typically enough remains the same to be somewhat useful for at least some basic bringup checks. However, we also make assumptions of the maximum supported sizes and numbers of things in various places, and there's no guarantee that something new might not be bigger and lead to nasty array overflows. Make sure we only try to run on things that actually match our assumptions and so will not risk memory corruption. We have at least always failed on completely unknown node types, so update that error message for clarity and consistency too.
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's ARM Common Mesh Network (CMN) performance driver, specifically in the handling of hardware configurations. The driver previously accepted unknown CMN models and revisions with minimal validation, which could lead to incorrect assumptions about hardware capabilities. This lax approach risks memory corruption by allowing potential array overflows from unsupported configurations. The vulnerability has been addressed by implementing stricter checks to ensure that only compatible hardware is processed, thereby preventing possible memory-related issues.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for updating the kernel can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
