CVE-2026-64231
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping. However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent access past the mapped area. msm_disp_snapshot_add_block+0x1d4/0x3c8 [msm] (P) msm_dsi_host_snapshot+0x4c/0x78 [msm] msm_dsi_snapshot+0x28/0x50 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_capture_state+0x74/0x140 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_state_sync+0x60/0x90 [msm] _msm_disp_snapshot_work+0x30/0x90 [msm] kthread_worker_fn+0xdc/0x460 kthread+0x120/0x140 Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/721747/
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Availability,Confidentiality
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Read Memory; Modify Memory
If the incorrect calculation is used in the context of memory allocation, then the software may create a buffer that is smaller or larger than expected. If the allocated buffer is smaller than expected, this could lead to an out-of-bounds read or write (CWE-119), possibly causing a crash, allowing arbitrary code execution, or exposing sensitive data.
