Kernel memory disclosure via off-by-one wire validation
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux Kernel ti_am335x_tsc driver before 6.19 allows local users to access adjacent kernel memory. The titsc_config_wires function accepts wire order 4 because its upper-bound check uses greater-than rather than greater-than-or-equal, then indexes the four-entry config_pins array. Reachability requires a TI AM335x touchscreen and control of its ti,wire-config device-tree property; the read can also misconfigure the driver.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
