CVE-2026-64101: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fwctl: pds: Validate RPC input size before parsing The fwctl core allocates the device-specific RPC input buffer with fwctl_rpc.in_len and passes that buffer to the driver callback. pdsfc_fw_rpc() casts the buffer to struct fwctl_rpc_pds and then calls pdsfc_validate_rpc(), which reads fields from that structure before checking that the input buffer is large enough to contain it. A short in_len can make pds_fwctl read beyond the allocation. Reject pds RPC buffers that are smaller than struct fwctl_rpc_pds before parsing any pds-specific fields.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.15, before 6.18.34 (fixed in 6.18.34); from 6.19, before 7.0.11 (fixed in 7.0.11); version 7.1 only
