This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scmi: Fix OOB in scmi_power_name_get() scmi_power_name_get() does not validate the domain number passed by the external caller, which may lead to an out-of-bounds access. Fix this by returning "unknown" for invalid domains, like scmi_reset_name_get() does.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-80649 since 08/26/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
