# CVE-2026-23092: iio: dac: ad3552r-hs: fix out-of-bound write in ad3552r_hs_write_data_source

> A local attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds stack write in the AD3552R-HS DAC driver, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.

## What is CVE-2026-23092?

CVE-2026-23092 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 4 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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

iio: dac: ad3552r-hs: fix out-of-bound write in ad3552r_hs_write_data_source

When simple_write_to_buffer() succeeds, it returns the number of bytes
actually copied to the buffer. The code incorrectly uses 'count'
as the index for null termination instead of the actual bytes copied.
If count exceeds the buffer size, this leads to out-of-bounds write.
Add a check for the count and use the return value as the index.

The bug was validated using a demo module that mirrors the original
code and was tested under QEMU.

Pattern of the bug:
- A fixed 64-byte stack buffer is filled using count.
- If count > 64, the code still does buf[count] = '\0', causing an
- out-of-bounds write on the stack.

Steps for reproduce:
- Opens the device node.
- Writes 128 bytes of A to it.
- This overflows the 64-byte stack buffer and KASAN reports the OOB.

Found via static analysis. This is similar to the
commit da9374819eb3 ("iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write")

Weakness: CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2026-23092 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-23092 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 4 Feb 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-23092 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
