{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-68478","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: memstick: ms_block: reject a card that reports too many blocks msb_ftl_initialize() computes the zone count from the card block count with no bound: msb->zone_count = msb->block_count / MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE; ... for (i = 0; i < msb->zone_count; i++) msb->free_block_count[i] = MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE; msb->block_count is a card value. msb_read_boot_blocks() reads number_of_blocks from the card boot page and byte swaps it. free_block_count is a fixed int[MS_MAX_ZONES]. MS_MAX_ZONES is 16, so the valid indices are 0 to 15. The init loop above indexes it by zone_count. msb_mark_block_used() and msb_mark_block_unused() index it by pba / MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE, for pba up to block_count - 1. A card may report up to 65535 blocks. A block_count above 8192 (MS_MAX_ZONES * MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE) lets the pba index reach 16. That writes past free_block_count[] and corrupts struct msb_data. A larger count runs the init loop past the end too. A real Memory Stick has at most 16 zones. So it has at most 8192 blocks. msb_ftl_initialize() now rejects a card that reports more than MS_MAX_ZONES * MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE blocks.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:20:47","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:17:57","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68478","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.0021,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-68478","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-68478","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-68478","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-68478","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-68478","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-68478","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-68478","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-68478"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68478"}}
