Severity ?
7.3 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (nct6775) Fix access to temperature configuration registers The number of temperature configuration registers does not always match the total number of temperature registers. This can result in access errors reported if KASAN is enabled. BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nct6775_probe+0x5654/0x6fe9 nct6775_core

a local low-privileged context is the most that can be attributed, and PR:H is not chosen since no attacker action or elevated capability is actually needed for the defect to manifest.\\nUI:N - The out-of-bounds access occurs automatically during device probe with no victim action required \\u2014 no file must be opened, no filesystem mounted, and no sysfs attribute touched.\\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and the resulting bad register accesses are entirely contained within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\\nC:H - This is a genuine out-of-bounds read of kernel memory past the end of NCT6779_REG_TEMP_CONFIG, and the disclosed adjacent .rodata contents propagate into persistent driver state (data-\u003ereg_temp_config[]) where they drive further hardware register reads, so the read is treated as a High confidentiality impact per out-of-bounds-read guidance.\\nI:L - The out-of-bounds values are consumed as hardware register addresses and written back via nct6775_write_value(), so the driver modifies unintended Super-I/O monitoring registers; this is real but bounded state modification, not an arbitrary kernel write or control-flow hijack primitive.\\nA:H - The defect produces a KASAN global-out-of-bounds report that panics the system under panic_on_warn, and the resulting bit-clearing writes to unintended monitoring registers can misconfigure temperature sensing and fan-control state on the hwmon chip, risking thermal instability on embedded and industrial x86 platforms.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"4283b0e29d58c6b11e2e45a5afcab401da4e7994\", \"lessThan\": \"745aa03c513f1ba12cb98495467676f7acf3fffd\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b7f1f7b2523a6a4382f12fe953380b847b80e09d\", \"lessThan\": \"f006c45a3ea424f8f6c8e4b9283bc245ce2a4d0f\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b7f1f7b2523a6a4382f12fe953380b847b80e09d\", \"lessThan\": \"c196387820c9214c5ceaff56d77303c82514b8b1\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b7f1f7b2523a6a4382f12fe953380b847b80e09d\", \"lessThan\": \"d56e460e19ea8382f813eb489730248ec8d7eb73\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/hwmon/nct6775-core.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.6\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.6\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.19\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.7.7\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.7.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.8\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/hwmon/nct6775-core.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/745aa03c513f1ba12cb98495467676f7acf3fffd\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f006c45a3ea424f8f6c8e4b9283bc245ce2a4d0f\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c196387820c9214c5ceaff56d77303c82514b8b1\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d56e460e19ea8382f813eb489730248ec8d7eb73\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nhwmon: (nct6775) Fix access to temperature configuration registers\\n\\nThe number of temperature configuration registers does\\nnot always match the total number of temperature registers.\\nThis can result in access errors reported if KASAN is enabled.\\n\\nBUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nct6775_probe+0x5654/0x6fe9 nct6775_core\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.19\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.7.7\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-19T16:27:42.828Z\"}}}",
