CVE-2026-23092

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: dac: ad3552r-hs: fix out-of-bound write in ad3552r_hs_write_data_source

When simple_write_to_buffer() succeeds, it returns the number of bytes

actually copied to the buffer. The code incorrectly uses 'count'

as the index for null termination instead of the actual bytes copied.

If count exceeds the buffer size, this leads to out-of-bounds write.

Add a check for the count and use the return value as the index.

The bug was validated using a demo module that mirrors the original

code and was tested under QEMU.

Pattern of the bug:

- A fixed 64-byte stack buffer is filled using count.

- If count > 64, the code still does buf[count] = '\0', causing an

- out-of-bounds write on the stack.

Steps for reproduce:

- Opens the device node.

- Writes 128 bytes of A to it.

- This overflows the 64-byte stack buffer and KASAN reports the OOB.

Found via static analysis. This is similar to the

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
