How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:10 kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra to version 0:6.12.0-206.104.3.3.el10uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2026-500248.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra package and not the kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

Input: touchwin - reset the packet index on every complete packet

tw_interrupt() accumulates each non-zero serial byte into a fixed three-byte buffer with a running index that is only reset once a full packet has been received and the device's two Y bytes agree:

tw-&gt;data[tw-&gt;idx++] = data;
if (tw-&gt;idx == TW_LENGTH &amp;&amp; tw-&gt;data[1] == tw-&gt;data[2]) {
    ...
    tw-&gt;idx = 0;
}

The reset is gated on tw->data[1] == tw->data[2], a value the device controls. A malicious, malfunctioning or counterfeit Touchwindow peripheral can stream non-zero bytes whose 2nd and 3rd bytes differ: the index reaches TW_LENGTH without the equality holding, is never reset, and keeps growing, so tw->data[tw->idx++] walks off the end of the three-byte array and the rest of the heap-allocated struct tw, one attacker-chosen byte at a time -- an unbounded, device-driven heap out-of-bounds write.

Reset the index on every completed packet and report an event only when the two Y bytes match, like the other serio touchscreen drivers do.
