CVE-2026-64101

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fwctl: pds: Validate RPC input size before parsing The fwctl core allocates the device-specific RPC input buffer with fwctl_rpc.in_len and passes that buffer to the driver callback. pdsfc_fw_rpc() casts the buffer to struct fwctl_rpc_pds and then calls pdsfc_validate_rpc(), which reads fields from that structure before checking that the input buffer is large enough to contain it. A short in_len can make pds_fwctl read beyond the allocation. Reject pds RPC buffers that are smaller than struct fwctl_rpc_pds before parsing any pds-specific fields.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-64101, a reported vulnerability affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
