CVE-2026-89587
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: pfr_update: fix stack buffer overflow in query_capability() query_capability() copie
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: pfr_update: fix stack buffer overflow in query_capability()
query_capability() copies four ACPI buffer objects returned by the
firmware _DSM into fixed-size u8[16] fields in struct
pfru_update_cap_info using memcpy with the firmware-supplied length:
memcpy(&cap_hdr->code_type,
elements[CAP_CODE_TYPE_IDX].buffer.pointer,
elements[CAP_CODE_TYPE_IDX].buffer.length);
The same pattern repeats for drv_type, platform_id, and oem_id.
If the firmware returns buffer.length > 16 for any of these fields,
memcpy writes past the destination array.
struct pfru_update_cap_info is stack-allocated in pfru_ioctl().
Confirmed with KASAN on 7.2-rc6: three stack-out-of-bounds reports
are generated when a DSM returns 64-byte buffers, with writes reaching
44 bytes past the end of cap_hdr's [64, 156) frame window into
adjacent stack redzones.
Introduce a helper pointer to out_obj->package.elements and use it
to validate each buffer length against its destination field size
before copying, returning -EINVAL if the firmware supplies an
oversized buffer.
