CVE-2026-93065

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel wifi iwlwifi driver, the loop counter 'count' in iwl_fwrt_dump_error_logs was declared as u8 while num_pc is u32. If firmware advertises more than 255 PC entries, the counter wraps and the loop never terminates, potentially causing an infinite loop or reading past the pc_data array.

Risk Assessment

An infinite loop or out-of-bounds read can lead to system hang or kernel memory corruption.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that changes the counter type to u32 to match num_pc.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: fix counter type in iwl_fwrt_dump_error_logs The loop counter 'count' was declared as u8 while num_pc is u32. If firmware advertises more than 255 PC entries the counter wraps back to zero and the loop never terminates potentially causing an infinite loop or reading past the allocated pc_data array. Change the declaration to u32 to match num_pc.
