Summary

In the Linux kernel, the hwmon asus_atk0110 driver's atk_ec_present() function does not check that the sub-package is non-empty before reading its first element. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could be exploited to perform an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to information disclosure or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that fixes CVE-2026-80593.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (asus_atk0110) Check package count before accessing element atk_ec_present() walks the management group package returned by the GGRP ACPI method and, for each sub-package, reads its first element: id = &obj->package.elements[0]; if (id->type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER) without checking that the sub-package is non-empty. ACPICA allocates the element array with exactly package.count entries, so for a sub-package with a zero count this reads past the allocation. The sibling function atk_debugfs_ggrp_open() performs the same access but skips empty packages with a package.count check first. Add the same check to atk_ec_present() so a malformed firmware package cannot trigger an out-of-bounds read.
