CVE-2026-90226. It is not in the current CISA KEV record we collected. That does not prove exploitation has not occurred.

Vendor-listed releases
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: avoid userspace overflow on invalid optlen
nfc_llcp_getsockopt() casts optval to (u32 __user *) for put_user(), so the kernel always stores 4 bytes regardless of the caller-supplied optlen. The existing min_t(u32, len, sizeof(u32)) only clamps the length reported back to userspace; it does not constrain the store.
A call with optlen < 4 therefore writes past the user buffer, violating the getsockopt(2) contract for all five supported optnames.
Reject any call with optlen < sizeof(u32) up front. 'len' is int, so a plain size comparison would promote a negative optlen to size_t and slip past the check; an explicit 'len < 0' test is added first to catch negative values before the size compare.
