It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68351 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68351/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68351/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68351","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68351/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68351","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68351","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68351","GHSA-grvp-5p4h-rcmp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68351"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing bounds check in the carl9170 Wi-Fi driver allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially leaking memory or causing crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: carl9170: bound memcpy length in cmd callback to prevent OOB read\n\nWhen the firmware sends a command response with a length mismatch,\ncarl9170_cmd_callback() logs the mismatch and calls carl9170_restart()\nbut then falls through to memcpy(ar-\u003ereadbuf, buffer + 4, len - 4).\nSince len comes from the firmware and can exceed ar-\u003ereadlen, this\ncopies more data than the readbuf was allocated for.\n\nBound the memcpy to min(len - 4, ar-\u003ereadlen) so that the response\nis still completed -- avoiding repeated restarts from queued garbage --\nwhile preventing an overread past the response buffer.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"wifi: carl9170: bound memcpy length in cmd callback to prevent OOB read","id":"CVE-2026-68351","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware IE lengths in connect event","id":"CVE-2026-68352"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"wifi: carl9170: fix OOB read from off-by-two in TX status handler","id":"CVE-2026-68350"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing bounds check in the carl9170 Wi-Fi driver allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially leaking memory or causing crashes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68351/"}
