As a result, the DMA API operates on\nmemory beyond the end of the allocation.\n\nThis was observed on a custom i.MX8MP platform with an mcp251xfd CAN\ncontroller under heavy RPMSG load, as a series of refcount_t warnings\ntriggered from rpmsg_recv_done() in virtio_rpmsg_bus:\n\n  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.\n  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.\n  refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.\n\nLeading finally to an \"Unable to handle kernel paging request\" oops.\nReproducing this problem took between 30 minutes and roughly 30 hours\nunder the same workload.\n\nHardware watchpoints on the refcount of a struct rpmsg_endpoint showed\nit was overwritten from 2 to 1 by __pi_memcpy_generic() in the\nirq/155-spi2.0 thread. Additionally it was found that a \"normal\"\nrpmsg_recv_done() took 11µs +/-2µs from its kref_get to kref_put. In\nthe error case the same sequence took about 215µs +/-10µs. Based on\nthis, an LLM was used to identify the size mismatch fixed here.\n\nAllocate the buffers with DMA_CACHE_ALIGNED_LEN(dma_len) so they cover\nthe full mapped length, and use the same length for\ndma_sync_single_for_cpu() to stay consistent with map and unmap.\n\nWith this patch applied, the same workload ran for more than 200 hours\nwithout the problem reproducing.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-28T10:35:16.694+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-31T12:44:24.973+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/spi/spi-imx.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"faa8e404ad8e686cb98c51dc507fdcacfb8020ce\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"2777f6637da02da84c9c1ff92f413ce0f0995084\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"faa8e404ad8e686cb98c51dc507fdcacfb8020ce\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"59eb22641f0c526dd064390b11cff99ae87c2858\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/spi/spi-imx.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.13\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2777f6637da02da84c9c1ff92f413ce0f0995084","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59eb22641f0c526dd064390b11cff99ae87c2858"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-99164","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-99164","identifiers":["CVE-2026-99164"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
