Overview

CVE-2026-80569 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 26, 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:

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - bound the F54 report size to the allocated buffer

rmi_f54_work() reads a diagnostics report from the device into

f54->report_data, sizing the transfer with rmi_f54_get_report_size():

report_size = rmi_f54_get_report_size(f54);

...

for (i = 0; i < report_size; i += F54_REPORT_DATA_SIZE) {

int size = min(F54_REPORT_DATA_SIZE, report_size - i);

...

rmi_read_block(.., f54->report_data + i, size);

}

report_data is allocated once at probe from F54's own electrode counts

(array3_size(f54->num_tx_electrodes, f54->num_rx_electrodes, sizeof(u16))),

but rmi_f54_get_report_size() computes the size from

drv_data->num_*_electrodes when those are set, i.e. from the F55

function's electrode counts. Both counts come straight from device

queries (F54 and F55 each report up to 255 electrodes) and nothing

constrains the F55 counts to the F54 ones.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80569?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80569 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.
