CVE-2026-80950

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

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

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
