Subject: CVE-2026-89728: i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:46:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091101-CVE-2026-89728-3c63@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask
When software initiates DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), the controller
reports the result via the NRSPQP (Normal Response Queue Port Register).
The data length field of the response descriptor, which is accessible
through the NRSPQP register, indicates the number of devices remaining
after DAA. Consequently, when the bus is empty, this field contains the
maximum number of devices supported by the controller (8 for the Renesas
I3C controller).
Adjust the condition that computes the newly discovered devices bitmask
to prevent an out-of-bounds when the I3C bus is empty.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89728 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
