If offset > size, integer underflow produces a ~4 GiB\nread length, if size is set to 1 MiB against a 4 KiB allocation, we leak\n1 MiB of adjacent kernel memory (other queues' MQDs, ring buffers, KASLR\npointers).\n\nFix by clamping both cp_hqd_cntl_stack_size to the actual allocated\nbuffer size (q->ctl_stack_size) and cp_hqd_cntl_stack_offset to the\nclamped size before performing arithmetic and copy_to_user().\n\nThis ensures we never read beyond the allocated kernel BO regardless of\nattacker-supplied MQD field values.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":39.1,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":210615,"id":"CVE-2026-97496","ts":1790316058261,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"7.1"},{"seq":210614,"id":"CVE-2026-97496","ts":1790316058261,"field":"severity","old":"none","new":"high"}]}
