CVE-2026-89596 high CVSS 7.1

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89596)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89596). Data can be tampered with by attackers.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

forcedeth: fix off-by-one when saving/restoring non-PCI config space

nv_suspend() and nv_resume() walk the non-PCI configuration space with

for (i = 0; i <= np->register_size/sizeof(u32); i++)

which runs one iteration too many. saved_config_space is declared as

u32 saved_config_space[NV_PCI_REGSZ_MAX/4];

and NV_PCI_REGSZ_VER3 is equal to NV_PCI_REGSZ_MAX (0x604), so on a VER3
device register_size/sizeof(u32) is exactly the array length and the last
iteration addresses one element past the end.

The element it lands on is np->name_rx[0..3]: saved_config_space[] is
followed immediately by char name_rx[IFNAMSIZ + 3], and char needs no
padding. Nothing observable is corrupted by that, because nv_request_irq()
rewrites name_rx with sprintf() before it is ever passed to request_irq().
The bug is the out-of-bounds access itself, which UBSAN reports and which
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y turns into a trap that aborts the running kernel code,
plus an MMIO read and, on resume, an MMIO writel() to base + 0x604, one
dword past the range the driver mapped:

np->base = ioremap(addr, np->register_size);

VER1 and VER2 devices stay inside the array, but they too get the stray
read and the stray write one dword past their own window.

Caught by UBSAN on an Apple Macmini3,1 (MCP79) during a deep S3 cycle.
