CVE-2026-64086 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) include PEC byte in pmbus_block_xfer read buffer adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() sets up the read transaction with .buf = data->read_buf, .len = ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2, but read_buf in struct adm1266_data is declared as u8 read_buf[ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1]; For a max-length block response (length byte = 255 + up to 1 PEC byte), the i2c controller is told to write 257 bytes into a 256-byte buffer, putting one byte past the end of read_buf. The same response also makes the subsequent PEC compare if (crc != msgs[1].buf[msgs[1].buf[0] + 1]) read a byte beyond the array. Bump the read_buf declaration to ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 so the buffer can hold the length byte, up to 255 payload bytes, and the PEC byte the i2c_msg length already accounts for.
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's PMBus driver for the ADM1266 device. The issue arises because the driver incorrectly handles the length of data being read, allowing up to 257 bytes to be written into a buffer that can only hold 256 bytes. This flaw can lead to memory corruption by overwriting adjacent memory. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel. Users should upgrade to the latest version of the stable Linux kernel where this issue has been addressed.
