CVE-2026-98204 in Linux
要約
〜によって MITRE • 2026年10月06日
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: rmi_smbus - fix out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb_write_block()
When chunking writes into SMBus blocks in rmi_smb_write_block(), the loop calculates block_len using the original total length (len) instead of the remaining length (cur_len).
If len is greater than 32 bytes (SMB_MAX_COUNT), block_len remains 32 for every iteration, even on the final partial chunk where fewer than 32 bytes remain. This causes smb_block_write() to read 32 bytes from the advanced data buffer pointer, reading past the end of the input buffer.
Fix this by calculating block_len using cur_len and advancing the buffer and address pointers by block_len.
Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
