Linux Kernel up to 7.1.9 synaptics-rmi4 out-of-bounds

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.1.9. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the component synaptics-rmi4. The manipulation 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. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: synaptics-rmi4 - fix F55 transmitter electrode count typo During F55 sensor detection, the transmitter (TX) electrode count was incorrectly assigned the value of the receiver (RX) electrode count due to copy-paste typos. This incorrect value was then propagated to the driver data and used by F54 to determine the diagnostics report size. On devices with more RX than TX electrodes, this inflated the perceived TX count, leading to incorrect report size calculations and potential out-of-bounds buffer accesses. Fix the typos by correctly assigning the TX electrode counts.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-80754 since 08/26/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/07/2026).

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 342725 (Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-80754), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 5.10.266, 5.15.217, 6.1.184, 6.6.153, 6.12.105, 6.18.46 or 7.1.10 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 6484e00d6778fdf2209cd75940bc3902b276457f/db4e20265ebda729610ca5cf45ca9437462c3f36/a6d9646e77da7cab2dff7043a8e9f75e23b836bc/0739c65e799d4a93fe573ed23255a71fcfcc5438/9759502f5cd71805923457f183ae5b9533e20c7b/9b184c8337c6e12df129399007735a7fbcbbcb7b/a81cafe3c3c2f8494063385a7b0ea7ff407bf19f/6058f0fea10f3caf63a435677358d1b8e9325114 is able to eliminate this problem.
