CVE-2026-93213

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found involving an out-of-bounds read in the of_alias_scan() function. The stem parser checks isdigit before validating boundaries, causing a read one byte before the property name when the name is empty or all digits. This could lead to unexpected behavior or information leakage.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential memory disclosure from kernel space or a system crash (panic). An attacker could exploit this flaw to destabilize the system or obtain sensitive information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately apply a kernel update containing the fix that moves the boundary check before the isdigit() call. Also monitor vendor security advisories.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of: fix out-of-bounds read in of_alias_scan() stem parser The stem parser tests isdigit(*(end - 1)) before checking end > start and so reads one byte before the property name when the name is empty or all digits. Check the bound first.
