CVE-2026-64280

8.8 · HIGH
Published Jul 25, 2026 linux EPSS 0.17% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-64280 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on July 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

fpga: dfl-afu: validate DMA mapping length in afu_dma_map_region()

afu_ioctl_dma_map() accepts a 64-bit length from userspace via

DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_MAP ioctl without an upper bound check. The value

is passed to afu_dma_pin_pages() where npages is derived as

length >> PAGE_SHIFT and passed to pin_user_pages_fast() which takes

int nr_pages, causing implicit truncation if length is very large.

Validate map.length at the ioctl entry point before calling

afu_dma_map_region(), rejecting values whose page count exceeds

INT_MAX.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
