Overview

CVE-2026-93129 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

platform/x86: dell-wmi-base: Fix handling of ultra performance key

The commit message of commit 5fbd827eb9c2 ("platform/x86: dell-wmi: Recognise or support new switches")

states that the ultra performance key contains additional data

after the type and code fields. The event data passed to

dell_wmi_process_key() is already parsed, so "buffer" already

starts after those two fields.

Use the correct index for accessing the first data field to avoid

a potential buffer overread.
