CVE-2026-74585 Detail

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Bound the DROM dual link port number before indexing sw->ports tb_drom_parse_entry_port() validates the device-supplied header->index against sw->config.max_port_number before indexing sw->ports[], but the sibling field entry->dual_link_port_nr -- a 6-bit value also read from the DROM -- indexes the same array with no such check. A malicious or malformed Thunderbolt device can set dual_link_port_nr beyond the allocated sw->ports[] (max_port_number + 1 entries), producing an out-of-bounds tb_port pointer that is stored and later dereferenced. Reject a port entry whose dual_link_port_nr exceeds max_port_number, the same bound already applied to header->index.
