CVE-2026-53336

nvmem: layouts: onie-tlv: fix hang on unknown types

EPSS 0.1%

Published 2026-07-01 (4 months ago) by the Linux kernel CNA. Subsystem drivers/nvmem. Debian urgency: unimportant.

What to do, per Debian release

Debian's own status for CVE-2026-53336 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source

The vulnerability

What the bug is

The EEPROM on my board has a vendor specific entry of type 0x41. When stumbling upon that, this driver hangs in an endless loop. Fix it by keep incrementing the offset on unknown entries, so the loop will eventually stop.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

What this is
ONIE TLV NVMEM LAYOUT DRIVERMAINTAINERS section matched on drivers/nvmem/layouts/onie-tlv.c · Maintained
Kernel module
onie_tlv

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_NVMEM|CONFIG_NVMEM_LAYOUT_ONIE_TLV' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w onie_tlv

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian does not build this code in 1 release. It does build it in 2 releases, so the answer depends on which release the machine runs. The build rule could not be established for 1 release, so nothing is claimed about those.

not established - no Makefile entry for the affected file
n
not enabled on any flavour - this release does not build the code
M
a module where it is built at all; some flavours do not build it

Where a release above reads "not established", no build rule for the affected file was found in that release's kernel tree. That is a gap in this lookup, not a finding that the code is absent.

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.

Why the CNA scored it this way

The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-53336, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
