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 classified as very critical was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.156/6.12.109/6.18.51/7.2.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function rk_hash_run of the component rk3288. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a unusual condition vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-754. The product does not check or incorrectly checks for unusual or exceptional conditions that are not expected to occur frequently during day to day operation of the product. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: rk3288 - fail ahash requests on HASH idle timeout rk_hash_run() waits for RK_CRYPTO_HASH_STS to become idle after the final DMA transfer, but ignores the poll result. If the hash engine never becomes idle, the driver still reads the digest registers and finalizes the request with the previous success value. Store the poll result and finalize the request with the timeout error before reading the digest registers.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-93156 since 09/17/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely.
