Overview
What is CVE-2026-89954?
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: afs: validate v2 image info bounds
The AFS v2 parser uses footer[8] to locate the image information block inside the current erase block, then uses the image information region_count to walk entries from a fixed local array. The footer offset and region count come from flash contents and are not checked against the erase block or the local image-info array before use.
Reject v2 entries whose image information offset would underflow the erase block calculation, and reject region counts that cannot fit in the local image-info array before walking region entries.
