GHSA-FQJ4-9QJ3-355R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-09 03:31 – Updated: 2026-08-04 12:34In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: pn533: Clear nfc_target before being used
Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in nla_put() called from nfc_genl_send_target() when target->sensb_res_len, which is duplicated from an nfc_target in pn533, is too large as the nfc_target is not properly initialized and retains garbage values. Clear nfc_targets with memset() before they are used.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
