CVE-2026-98893: firmware: arm_scmi: Validate SENSOR_UPDATE payload size

Q: Which Linux systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems running the Linux kernel that process ARM SCMI SENSOR_UPDATE notifications are in scope. The affected path parses sensor readings delivered after the fixed notification header.

Q: What condition does the fix reject?

The fix rejects SENSOR_UPDATE notifications whose payload is too short to contain the number of sensor-reading entries expected from the sensor description. Validation occurs before the variable-length readings array is parsed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Linux systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems running the Linux kernel that process ARM SCMI SENSOR_UPDATE notifications are in scope. The affected path parses sensor readings delivered after the fixed notification header.

What condition does the fix reject?

The fix rejects SENSOR_UPDATE notifications whose payload is too short to contain the number of sensor-reading entries expected from the sensor description. Validation occurs before the variable-length readings array is parsed.

CVE-2026-98893: firmware: arm_scmi: Validate SENSOR_UPDATE payload size
