CVE-2026-64086

7.8 · HIGH
Published Jul 19, 2026 EPSS 0.14% (4th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-64086 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) include PEC byte in pmbus_block_xfer read buffer

adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() sets up the read transaction with

.buf = data->read_buf,

.len = ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2,

but read_buf in struct adm1266_data is declared as

u8 read_buf[ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1];

For a max-length block response (length byte = 255 + up to 1 PEC

byte), the i2c controller is told to write 257 bytes into a 256-byte

buffer, putting one byte past the end of read_buf. The same response

also makes the subsequent PEC compare

if (crc != msgs[1].buf[msgs[1].buf[0] + 1])

read a byte beyond the array.

Bump the read_buf declaration to ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 so the

buffer can hold the length byte, up to 255 payload bytes, and the PEC

byte the i2c_msg length already accounts for.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
