Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 host1x host1x_debug_output/host1x_debug_cont stack-based overflow

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.

Executing a manipulation can lead to stack-based overflow. This vulnerability is registered as CVE-2026-93061. The attack needs to be launched locally. No exploit is available. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 and classified as very critical. This vulnerability affects the function host1x_debug_output/host1x_debug_cont of the component host1x. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpu: host1x: Avoid stack over-read in debug output helpers host1x_debug_output() and host1x_debug_cont() used vsnprintf(), which returns the length the formatted string would have reached with an unbounded buffer. That return value was passed straight to o->fn as the number of bytes to emit. This could cause a read past end of the output buffer if a call to host1x_debug_* produced a string longer than 256 bytes. This only affected the debugfs files as the printk debug sink ignores the number of bytes. In practice, this is very unlikely to occur. Fix by switching to vscnprintf(), which returns the number of bytes actually written.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-93061 since 09/17/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploitation requires an enhanced level of successful authentication. 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 d7a560dc912756fd8b39b28b10818d931e863d2d/41517c46002afd717f0f2d0975c740dd610f87fe/ebab3a25a0403bcbc0c40ef77d69d23270e45547/4f9f0afdbdf513a49065207ff6b7e1d15051175a/819dd96a6571f2b12496b080e5187ba3fa897232/9ad7a6ccc7b839247663d57d3dbb4481dec492de/b00290d1dc23a5ef9a0d3103aad1fe2274e86569/bc17ac285fb708f22a8fa2c0ed32eceb1d37e6d6 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
