CVE-2026-97451Public exploitHinoki check available

Service interruption via ACPICA length overflow

Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 24, 2026

Integer overflow in Linux ACPICA allows attackers to interrupt service by supplying crafted AML to the Mid operator. The acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R function adds Index and Length without detecting wraparound, derives a negative truncation length, and passes that size to memcpy. Exposure requires ACPICA to evaluate attacker-controlled AML; the public reproducer aborts under AddressSanitizer, while no broader kernel impact has been published.
