CVE-2026-80803: nfc: digital: clamp SENSF_RES length to the destination buffer

Published Sep 4, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: digital: clamp SENSFRES length to the destination buffer

digitalinrecvsensfres() memcpy()s resp->len bytes from a remote NFC-F device response into the NFCSENSFRESMAXSIZE-byte target.sensfres field without an upper-bound check. A nearby malicious NFC-F device can send an oversized SENSFRES response to overflow the stack-local struct nfctarget.

Clamp resp->len to NFCSENSFRESMAXSIZE before the copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What attacker access is required to exploit this issue?

An attacker needs to operate a malicious NFC-F device near the affected system and provide an oversized SENSF_RES response.

2

What should be checked when validating that the fix is present?

The response length must be limited to NFC_SENSF_RES_MAXSIZE before it is used to copy data into the target.sensf_res destination buffer.

3
