CVE-2026-80823
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: st21nfca: validate ATR_REQ length against the received frame st21nfca_tm_recv_atr_req() checks that the received ATR_REQ frame is at least ST21NFCA_ATR_REQ_MIN_SIZE and that the self-declared atr_req->length is at least sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req), but never checks that atr_req->length does not exceed the actual received length (skb->len). st21nfca_tm_send_atr_res() then trusts the declared length: gb_len = atr_req->length - sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req); ... memcpy(atr_res->gbi, atr_req->gbi, gb_len); so an RF peer that sends a short frame but sets atr_req->length larger than the frame makes gb_len exceed the general bytes actually present, and the memcpy reads out of bounds past the received skb. Those bytes are placed in the ATR_RES and sent back to the peer (kernel-memory disclosure to a proximity attacker); a larger declared length is an out-of-bounds read (DoS). Reject frames whose declared length exceeds the received length. The adjacent nfc_tm_activated() path in the same function already derives its general-bytes length from skb->len rather than the declared field. Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis; the missing bound is evident from source. Compile-tested.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
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.
