CVE-2026-90191
mailbox: riscv-sbi-mpxy: validate RPMI notification lengths
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: riscv-sbi-mpxy: validate RPMI notification lengths The SBI return value controls how many bytes are copied from shared memory into the RPMI notification buffer. It is not validated against the negotiated shared-memory size before that copy. The event walker also uses a reversed loop condition and can inspect a short event record. Validate the complete notification length before copying it, iterate only while a full event header remains, and stop when a declared event payload extends beyond the copied notification data.
