Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.1.3. It has been rated as very critical. This issue affects the function bmg160_get_filter/bmg160_set_filter of the file drivers/iio/gyro/bmg160_core.c of the component Bmg160. The manipulation of the argument bw_bits with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: gyro: bmg160: bail out when bandwidth/filter is not in table bmg160_get_filter() walks bmg160_samp_freq_table[] looking for the entry matching the bw_bits value read from the chip: for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(bmg160_samp_freq_table); ++i) { if (bmg160_samp_freq_table[i].bw_bits == bw_bits) break; } *val = bmg160_samp_freq_table[i].filter; If no entry matches, i ends up equal to the array size and the next line reads one slot past the end. bmg160_set_filter() has the same shape, driven by 'val' instead of bw_bits. smatch flags both: drivers/iio/gyro/bmg160_core.c:204 bmg160_get_filter() error: buffer overflow 'bmg160_samp_freq_table' 7 <= 7 drivers/iio/gyro/bmg160_core.c:222 bmg160_set_filter() error: buffer overflow 'bmg160_samp_freq_table' 7 <= 7 Return -EINVAL when no entry matches. The set_filter() path is reachable from userspace via the sysfs in_anglvel_filter_low_pass_3db_frequency interface, so userspace can trivially trigger the out-of-bounds read with a value that is not in bmg160_samp_freq_table[].filter.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-64495 since 07/19/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 07/26/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.261, 5.15.212, 6.1.178, 6.6.145, 6.12.96, 6.18.39, 7.1.4 or 7.2-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 1dc3a833be11e5d503038e3c701745fd0e03903c/77e56ebb1786f4296afd5fa46975a989b285ae65/8d202515baea4e2e3be448d1590099af28f2346d/d85ee50f58dd83fe74f6d0bf8bd345c657b216e8/7bbf02b63961fc1768c9c654392c11f2077d4c59/6c8675468862161d1c59130266852b66867d3861/8320c77e67382d5d55d77043a5f60a867d408a2b is able to eliminate this problem.
