Sep 3 ENRICHED — CVE-2026-64087 (Linux). Received CVSS 5.5 and CPE data from NVD.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) reject implausible blackbox record_count
adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() loops over a record_count that comes
straight from byte 3 of the BLACKBOX_INFO response. The destination
buffer is data->dev_mem, sized for the nvmem cell's declared 2048
bytes (ADM1266_BLACKBOX_MAX_RECORDS * ADM1266_BLACKBOX_SIZE = 32 * 64).
A device that reports a record_count greater than 32 -- whether due
to firmware bugs, bus corruption, or a non-responsive slave returning
0xff -- would walk read_buff past the end of the dev_mem allocation
on the trailing iterations.
Cap record_count at ADM1266_BLACKBOX_MAX_RECORDS (introduced here)
before entering the loop and return -EIO on any larger value, so a
malformed BLACKBOX_INFO response cannot drive the loop out of bounds.
