Overview

CVE-2026-98583 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 18, 2026.

Technical description

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

nfc: nfcmrvl: validate helper command length before pull

The firmware download receive path removes the NCI data header and

reads the helper command before validating the remaining packet length.

A short frame can therefore reach the data access before the malformed

packet is rejected.

Validate the complete helper command length before stripping the NCI

data header.
