CVE-2026-64274 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: goodix - clamp the device-reported contact count goodix_ts_read_input_report() copies the number of touch points reported by the device into an on-stack buffer u8 point_data[2 + GOODIX_MAX_CONTACT_SIZE * GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS]; which is sized for at most GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS (10) contacts. The only runtime check bounds the per-interrupt count against ts->max_touch_num, but that value is taken verbatim from a 4-bit field of the device configuration block and is never clamped: ts->max_touch_num = ts->config[MAX_CONTACTS_LOC] & 0x0f; The nibble can be 0..15, so a malfunctioning, malicious or counterfeit controller (or an attacker tampering with the I2C bus) can advertise up to 15 contacts. goodix_ts_read_input_report() then accepts a touch_num of up to 15 and the second goodix_i2c_read() writes ts->contact_size * (touch_num - 1) bytes past the one-contact header into point_data - up to 30 bytes (45 with the 9-byte report format) beyond the 92-byte buffer: a stack out-of-bounds write. Clamp max_touch_num to GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS, the number of contacts point_data[] is sized for, when reading it from the configuration.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Goodix touchscreen driver of the Linux kernel. This issue arises from the driver not properly validating the number of touch points reported by the device. The vulnerability is present in the Goodix touchscreen input handling, where the reported contact count can be manipulated by a faulty, counterfeit controller, or through tampering with the I2C bus. This manipulation can lead to an out-of-bounds write, overwriting adjacent memory on the stack.
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.
