CVE-2026-64231
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping. However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent access past the mapped area. msm_disp_snapshot_add_block+0x1d4/0x3c8 [msm] (P) msm_dsi_host_snapshot+0x4c/0x78 [msm] msm_dsi_snapshot+0x28/0x50 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_capture_state+0x74/0x140 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_state_sync+0x60/0x90 [msm] _msm_disp_snapshot_work+0x30/0x90 [msm] kthread_worker_fn+0xdc/0x460 kthread+0x120/0x140 Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/721747/
Executive briefing
The source record describes: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping. However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent access past the mapped area. msm_disp_snapshot_add_block+0x1d4/0x3c8 [msm] (P) msm_dsi_host_snapshot+0x4c/0x78 [msm] msm_dsi_snapshot+0x28/0x50 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_capture_state+0x74/0x140 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_state_sync+0x60/0x90 [msm] _msm_disp_snapshot_work+0x30/0x90 [msm] kthread_worker_fn+0xdc/0x460 kthread+0x120/0x140 Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/721747/ The practical risk depends on whether an affected product/version is present, reachable and configured in an exploitable way. Review the affected-product evidence and linked vendor advisories before assigning exposure status.
Evidence confidence: Moderate Evidence-derived, not an exploitability verdict

Technical explanation & impact
The technical mechanism is not expanded beyond the source description unless a referenced advisory supplies additional evidence. Read the linked vendor/CERT advisories for root-cause detail.
Potential impact must be interpreted from the published CVSS impact metrics and the affected component. A CVSS impact score is not proof that a particular asset is exploitable.
Weakness classification
NVD-CWE-noinfoAffected products and versions
Products below are parsed from NVD vulnerable CPE configuration entries. Version boundaries are shown as published; verify applicability with the vendor.
| Vendor | Product | Version evidence |
|---|---|---|
| linux | linux_kernel | from (inclusive) 6.19; before 7.0.11 · CPE version 7.1 · CPE version 7.1 · CPE version 7.1 · CPE version 7.1 |
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
