Technical description

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

drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region

On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by

io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping.

However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to

account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the

unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent

access past the mapped area.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64231?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64231 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
