CVE-2026-53148
thunderbolt: Clamp XDomain response data copy to allocation size
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Clamp XDomain response data copy to allocation size tb_xdp_properties_request() derives the per-packet copy length from the response header without checking that it fits in the previously allocated data buffer. A malicious peer can set its length field larger than the declared data_length, causing memcpy to write past the kcalloc allocation. Clamp the per-packet copy length so that the cumulative offset never exceeds data_len.

CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 3.1 HIGH 0b0ca135-0b70-47e7-9f44-1890c2a1c46c
CVSS 3.1 HIGH [email protected]
Solution
Clamp per-packet copy length to prevent buffer overflows.
  • Update the Linux kernel to include the fix.
  • Verify the per-packet copy length is clamped.
  • Ensure kcalloc allocations are appropriately sized.
  • Validate peer-controlled lengths against data_length.
