CVE-2026-53387

Linux Linux, linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: light: veml6075: add bounds check to veml6075_it_ms index veml6075_it_ms has 5 elements but VEML6075_CONF_IT can yield values 0-7. If it returns a value >= 5, this causes an out-of-bounds array access. Add a bounds check and return -EINVAL if the index is out of range. The problem values are reserved so should never be read from the register. Hence this is hardening against fault device, missprogramming or bus corruption.

  1. 1
    Identify

    Confirm that Linux Linux, linux kernel and an affected version are present.

  2. 2
    Prioritize

    Combine exploitation signals with asset exposure and business criticality.

  3. 3
    Remediate

    Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path and preserve rollback options.

  4. 4
    Verify

    Recheck the version, service health, access paths, and relevant logs.
