CVE-2026-80723 PUBLISHED

of: reserved_mem: prevent OOB when too many dynamic regions are defined

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 26.08.2026 Published: 28.08.2026 Updated: 28.08.2026

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

of: reserved_mem: prevent OOB when too many dynamic regions are defined

On boot, fdt_scan_reserved_mem() saves each dynamically-placed /reserved-memory subnode into a local array of size MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS.

If the device tree defines more than MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS dynamically-placed regions, fdt_scan_reserved_mem() writes past the end of the local array.

Add a bounds check that logs an error and skips the excess regions, restoring the original behavior.
