CVE-2025-71196

Published Feb 4, 2026 EPSS 0.17% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-71196 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 4, 2026.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

phy: stm32-usphyc: Fix off by one in probe()

The "index" variable is used as an index into the usbphyc->phys[] array

which has usbphyc->nphys elements. So if it is equal to usbphyc->nphys

then it is one element out of bounds. The "index" comes from the

device tree so it's data that we trust and it's unlikely to be wrong,

however it's obviously still worth fixing the bug. Change the > to >=.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
