Summary
CVE-2026-80578 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

fbdev: core: Fix pointer desynchronization in fbioread()

In fbioread(), if copytouser() performs a partial copy (e.g., due to a faulty user buffer), the loop adjusts the chunk size 'c' and updates the remaining 'count'. However, the hardware 'src' pointer has already been eagerly advanced by the original chunk size.

If the loop is allowed to continue, the read will resume from an incorrect, over-advanced offset. Since the remaining 'count' was only decremented by the successful bytes, this desynchronization causes the next iterations to execute more hardware reads than originally bounded, eventually leading to out-of-bounds I/O reads.

Fix this by breaking out of the loop immediately upon a partial copytouser(). A partial copy indicates a faulty user buffer, making subsequent read attempts futile. Breaking out ensures we return the number of successfully read bytes without risking out-of-bounds hardware accesses in subsequent mismatched iterations.
