{"id":"AZL-97716","summary":"CVE-2026-80579 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfbdev: clear fb_info-\u003emode before deleting a videomode\n\nfb_set_var() can delete a mode from info-\u003emodelist when userspace\npasses FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE through FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. The code\nchecks that the mode being deleted is not the current info-\u003evar and\nthat fbcon is not using it, but it does not check fb_info-\u003emode.\n\nfb_info-\u003emode may still point into the modelist entry being deleted.\nIf the entry is freed, later mode sysfs reads through show_mode() can\ndereference a stale pointer.\n\nClear fb_info-\u003emode before calling fb_delete_videomode() when it\nmatches the mode being removed.","modified":"2026-08-30T05:26:50Z","published":"2026-08-26T15:17:14Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-80579"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-80579"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-97716.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
