Linux Kernel up to 7.3-rc4 amd_sfh amd_sfh_pcie.c mp2_select_ops out-of-bounds

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.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.3-rc4. It has been rated as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function mp2_select_ops of the file drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c of the component amd_sfh. Performing a manipulation results in out-of-bounds. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-98640. Attacking locally is a requirement. No exploit is available. Upgrading the affected component is advised.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.3-rc4. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function mp2_select_ops of the file drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c of the component amd_sfh. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. 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: HID: amd_sfh: Validate PCI BAR size before mapping The amd_sfh driver maps PCI BAR 2 using pcim_iomap_regions() and subsequently accesses MMIO registers at offsets up to 0x10958 (e.g., AMD_P2C_MSG3 at 0x1068C). However, the driver never validates that the BAR size is large enough to cover these accesses. If the driver is bound to a device with a smaller BAR 2, this leads to an out-of-bounds memory access and a page fault during the probe function. For example, a page fault can occur when reading from privdata->mmio + AMD_P2C_MSG3 in mp2_select_ops(): BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000390368c PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 1012c1067 PMD 105b64067 PTE 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: 0010:readl arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:59 [inline] RIP: 0010:mp2_select_ops drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c:282 [inline] RIP: 0010:amd_mp2_pci_probe+0x337/0x5f0 drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c:487 Call Trace: <TASK> local_pci_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:332 [inline] pci_call_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:394 [inline] __pci_device_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:455 [inline] pci_device_probe+0x431/0xc90 drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:489 Fix this by verifying that the length of BAR 2 is at least 128KB before attempting to map it. Since the maximum accessed offset is 0x10958, and PCI BAR sizes are powers of 2, any legitimate hardware will have a BAR size of at least 128KB.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-98640 since 09/25/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

Upgrading to version 5.15.222, 6.1.189, 6.6.158, 6.12.112, 6.18.55, 7.2.9 or 7.3-rc5 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 92bf2883da0306ab9d1eb794acd1058fc5088ebc/7b3747d77767f066ccf4a9e8e3a8381643ab5368/5ff24aa7af0bca0780fe4e6effce902065f2c0a7/dc687489131559ee52f447592f6d039a5a013061/5f9e2ecb725adced013fbf5f94b9f185fad2e7d9/ee25833f037fa22d23ffdbfeebabe3579e8a0346/65bcc5f89704efe5b9d69d4ea2c1002d90c31382 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
