Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mdiobus: Fix potential out-of-bounds clause 45 read/write access When using publicly available tools like 'mdio-tools' to read/write data from/to network interface and its PHY via C45 (clause 45) mdiobus, there is no verification of parameters passed to the ioctl and it accepts any mdio address. Currently there is support for 32 addresses in kernel via PHY_MAX_ADDR define, but it is possible to pass higher value than that via ioctl. While read/write operation should generally fail in this case, mdiobus provides stats array, where wrong address may allow out-of-bounds read/write. Fix that by adding address verification before C45 read/write operation. While this excludes this access from any statistics, it improves security of read/write operation.

——0A flaw was found in SSSD. The sss_nss_protocol_parse_addr() function in the NSS responder does not validate the addrlen field against the remaining packet body size. A local attacker can exploit this via a crafted GETHOSTBYADDR request to the NSS responder socket, causing an out-of-bounds read and process crash, resulting in a denial of service.7h CVE-2026-185835.3 MED

——0A weakness has been identified in mz-automation libiec61850 up to 1.6.1. This issue affects the function checkDataSetAccess of the file src/iec61850/server/mms_mapping/mms_mapping.c of the component MMS Request Handler. This manipulation causes out-of-bounds read. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 1.6.2 is capable of addressing this issue. Patch name: 062062daf4cb50c7aa76e01d6fb4d58fc9278a7d. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.11h CVE-2026-20496—
