Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.110/6.18.52. It has been classified as very critical. This affects the function acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R of the component ACPICA. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPICA: Fix integer overflow in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() (mid_op) Add overflow check for Index + Length to prevent integer overflow when calculating the truncation length. This prevents negative size parameter being passed to memcpy().

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-97451 since 09/24/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/24/2026).
