Local availability loss via undersized PDS RPC
Published Jul 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 19, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the PDS fwctl driver in Linux Kernel allows local users to cause unspecified availability loss via undersized RPC input. The pdsfc_fw_rpc() callback casts the allocation to struct fwctl_rpc_pds, and pdsfc_validate_rpc() reads its fields before confirming that in_len covers the structure. Reachability requires local access to a system exposing a PDS fwctl character device; the precise interruption mode is not disclosed, and no data disclosure or modification is reported.
