Summary
CVE-2026-80662 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

cxl: Fix CXLHEADERLOGSIZE to match RAS Capability size

The CXL r4.0 8.2.4.17.7 RAS Capability Structure has total length 0x58 bytes (CXLRASCAPABILITYLENGTH); the Header Log occupies the trailing 64 bytes at offset 0x18. CXLHEADERLOGSIZE was defined as SZ512, eight times the actual on-device size.

headerlogcopy() reads CXLHEADERLOGSIZEU32 (128) dwords from the RAS capability iomap, overrunning the 88-byte mapping by 448 bytes. The cxlaeruncorrectableerror trace event memcpy()s CXLHEADERLOGSIZE (512) bytes from its source. For the CPER caller the source is struct cxlrascapabilityregs::headerlog[16] (64 bytes) embedded in a stack-local cxlcperproterrwork_data, so the memcpy reads 448 bytes of kernel stack into the trace event ring buffer where userspace can read it via tracefs.

Set CXLHEADERLOGSIZE to 64 and derive CXLHEADERLOGSIZEU32 from it, bringing all iomap readers into agreement on 16 dwords. Userspace tools such as rasdaemon have grown a dependency on the buggy 512-byte (128 u32) headerlog layout in the cxlaeruncorrectableerror trace event. Add CXLHEADERLOGTRACESIZE_U32 = 128 and use it for the trace event _array and its memcpy to preserve that ABI. Both callers now pass a zero-filled u32[CXLHEADERLOGTRACESIZEU32] staging buffer with only the first CXLHEADERLOGSIZEU32 (16) entries populated from hardware; the remaining 112 u32s are zero-padded, keeping the 512-byte trace ring buffer layout intact.
