CVE-2026-89954mtd: afs: validate v2 image info bounds
High 8.0
In plain English
A high-severity security flaw in Linux from Linux. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 8% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: afs: validate v2 image info bounds The AFS v2 parser uses footer[8] to locate the image information block inside the current erase block, then uses the image information region_count to walk entries from a fixed local array. The footer offset and region count come from flash contents and are not checked against the erase block or the local image-info array before use. Reject v2 entries whose image information offset would underflow the erase block calculation, and reject region counts that cannot fit in the local image-info array before walking region entries.
