CVE-2026-93078

/// Technical description

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

cxl/features: Reject Set Features output buffer smaller than the header

cxlctl_set_feature() sizes its output buffer from the user's

fwctl_rpc.out_len but never checks it is large enough to hold even the

fwctl_rpc_cxl_out header. With out_len == 0 , kvzalloc() returns

ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the !rpc_out check, the subsequent

rpc_out->size = 0 then writes through the poison pointer.

Reject requests whose output buffer can't hold the response header,

before allocating. The Set Feature reply carries no payload, so the

header is all that is required.

/// 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.
