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 7.2.5. Affected by this issue is the function dw_i3c_master_daa.cold of the file drivers/i3c/master/dw-i3c-master.c of the component dw-i3c-master. The manipulation of the argument rx_len/maxdevs 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: i3c: dw: avoid shift-out-of-bounds when DAA assigns no devices On an empty bus ENTDAA assigns nothing, so cmd->rx_len (the count of addresses left unassigned) equals master->maxdevs. The GENMASK() index master->maxdevs - cmd->rx_len - 1 then becomes -1, which trips up UBSAN. This happens every time on boot on a Gigabyte/AMD server: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/i3c/master/dw-i3c-master.c:905:12 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int' CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 963 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 7.0.11-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: Giga Computing E163-Z34-AAH1-000/MZ33-DC1-000, BIOS R32_F45 04/01/2026 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80 ubsan_epilogue+0x5/0x2b __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold+0xd7/0x1ab dw_i3c_master_daa.cold+0x1b/0x96 [dw_i3c_master] i3c_master_do_daa_ext.part.0+0x3e/0xf0 [i3c] Skip the mask when no new device was assigned.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-90386 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/17/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.110, 6.18.52, 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 5650b013e6bfc14c8b30be727f4a715b01860a08/63110ccc434e10d9e9d2c7d82ebfa8a6f9cedd94/3a1c35739efb69e8ec2a868113a0471a01bb8f29/111f559e5b6461f5f6977275716e6c5d1eb7ea27/754533e6169d1f10bdef7a6ba9bd7740b524e1d4/9eaac0cb4ca94e2e32c53c156ae5b813ba7ef90c/618dd640ded6b94bbdb79c798a901ec564797033/038cf48b3170af26a70bf2dee4f8c3ac910f5176 is able to eliminate this problem.
