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 6.12.109/6.18.51/7.2.5. Affected by this issue is the function ljca_enumerate_gpio of the component ljca. The manipulation of the argument bank_num with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: ljca: bound bank_num in ljca_enumerate_gpio() ljca_enumerate_gpio() reads desc->bank_num from the device and loops valid_pin[i] = get_unaligned_le32(...) for i < bank_num. valid_pin[] holds only LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM / 32 = 2 entries. Two checks run before the loop. The reply length must match struct_size(desc, bank_desc, bank_num). The product pins_per_bank * bank_num must not exceed LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM. Neither one bounds bank_num against the size of valid_pin[]. The reply is capped at LJCA_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE (60) bytes, so the struct_size check limits bank_num to 9. A device that reports bank_num 9 with pins_per_bank 7 still passes both checks. gpio_num is 63 and the reply is 56 bytes. The loop then writes nine u32 into the two entry array and overruns valid_pin[] on the stack. A broken or malicious LJCA device can therefore overflow the stack. Reject a bank_num that does not fit valid_pin[].

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-93119 since 09/17/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. 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 6.12.110, 6.18.52, 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 0069593170a3d177de793c9a0b36989c4f069111/aed958c4f784a29cf42abb3e54af51a16bddde46/9c4bc8f7426aa001387800bf0140bfc5087a6de3/dd9483726d0f16c1a56879c3edb65128259a4e2b is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
