Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.1.9. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component fp9931. 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. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regulator: fp9931: Fix VPOS/VNEG voltage selector table The VPOSNEG_table[] mapping does not match the FP9931 datasheet. The datasheet defines the VPOS/VNEG voltage mapping as: 00h-04h -> 7.04V (-7.04V) 05h -> 7.26V (-7.26V) 06h -> 7.49V (-7.49V) ... 28h-3Fh -> 15.06V (-15.06V) However, VPOSNEG_table[] has two issues: 1. Selector 0x00~0x04 should all map to 7.04V (5 entries), but the table has 6 entries of 7.04V, causing all subsequent entries to be shifted by one position. 2. Selectors 0x29~0x3F should all clamp to 15.06V (23 entries), but the table has only 41 entries. Any selector value above 0x28 would result in an out-of-bounds table access. Fix both issues by removing the duplicate 7.04V entry and appending the missing 23 clamped 15.06V entries, bringing the table to the correct size of 64 entries (0x00~0x3F).

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-80745 since 08/26/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploitation needs additional levels of successful authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/03/2026).

Upgrading to version 7.1.10 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 92a9594053831bf4c5886519688e155912befaee/66694b5f90f3876fccb87bbd02b453cdc33b3ae4 is able to eliminate this problem.
