CVE-2026-53147

thunderbolt: Validate XDomain request packet size before type cast

Published Jun 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thunderbolt: Validate XDomain request packet size before type cast

tb_xdp_handle_request() casts the received packet buffer to
protocol-specific structs without verifying that the allocation
is large enough for the target type. A peer can send a minimal
XDomain packet that passes the generic header length check but is
shorter than the struct accessed after the cast, causing out-of-
bounds reads from the kmemdup allocation.

Plumb the packet length through xdomain_request_work and validate
it against the expected struct size before each cast.
