UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80624: Low severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published Aug 28, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mfd: cs42l43: Sanity check firmware size Currently the code checks if a firmware was received, however it does not verify that the firmware size is larger than the firmware header. As the firmware pointer is dereferenced as a pointer to the header structure this could lead to an out of bounds memory access. Add the missing check.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What condition triggers the out-of-bounds access?

The affected code receives a firmware object but does not verify that its size exceeds the firmware header size before dereferencing the firmware pointer as a header structure. A firmware payload that is too small can therefore cause an out-of-bounds memory access.

2

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.
