Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-80950

high Nessus Plugin ID 345182

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- i3c: renesas: Check that the transfer is valid before accessing it The Renesas I3C driver uses an asynchronous model to transfer data. It prepares a struct renesas_i3c_xfer, enqueues it, and waits for completion. The interrupt handler dequeues the transfer, updates/uses it, and signals the waiting thread.
If the completion times out, the waiting thread dequeues the transfer and free it. If an interrupt fires after that, the handler may access freed memory, leading to crashes. Check that the transfer is still valid before accessing it in the interrupt handler. With it clear any status flags and disable all the interrupts to avoid triggering the same interrupts again. (CVE-2026-80950)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
