CVE-2026-72158: fpga: dfl: add bounds check in dfh_get_param_size()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 012683accbb7d2bcf1264f2a0ecd6aa1dcea4d68, 3b622aa447cf26104f96a8be39539367863bc6b6, 9e8bc49f91f3f81d957c4f1c1f09fe94e2f88f6a.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 012683accbb7d2bcf1264f2a0ecd6aa1dcea4d68, 3b622aa447cf26104f96a8be39539367863bc6b6, 9e8bc49f91f3f81d957c4f1c1f09fe94e2f88f6a or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fpga: dfl: add bounds check in dfh_get_param_size() dfh_get_param_size() can return a parameter size larger than the feature region because the loop bounds check is evaluated before incrementing size. If the EOP (End of Parameters) bit is set in the same iteration, the inflated size is returned without re-validation against max. This can cause create_feature_instance() to call memcpy_fromio() with a size exceeding the ioremap'd region when a malicious FPGA device provides crafted DFHv1 parameter headers. Add a bounds check after the size increment to ensure the accumulated size never exceeds the feature boundary.
