Overview

CVE-2026-89628 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

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

HID: picolcd: clamp eeprom debugfs read to bytes actually received

picolcd_debug_eeprom_read() trusts resp->raw_data[2] -- a length byte

supplied by the device in its REPORT_EE_DATA reply -- clamped only to

the caller's read() count:

ret = resp->raw_data[2];

if (ret > s)

ret = s;

if (copy_to_user(u, resp->raw_data+3, ret))

It never checks resp->raw_size, the number of bytes picolcd_raw_event()

actually copied into the 64-byte raw_data[] of the kmalloc'd struct

picolcd_pending. A device (or a spoofed picoLCD) returning a length byte

of 0xff, read with a count >= 255, makes copy_to_user() read past

raw_data[] into adjacent slab memory and return it to userspace through

the debugfs "eeprom" file:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_to_user

Read of size 255 ... picolcd_debug_eeprom_read+0x214/0x2f0 [hid_picolcd]

The debug-dump path in the same file already validates the device length

byte against the recei

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89628?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89628 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.
