CVE-2026-64086: hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) include PEC byte in pmbus_block_xfer read buffer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

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

hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) include PEC byte in pmbus_block_xfer read buffer

adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() sets up the read transaction with

	.buf = data->read_buf,
	.len = ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2,

but read_buf in struct adm1266_data is declared as

	u8 read_buf[ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1];

For a max-length block response (length byte = 255 + up to 1 PEC
byte), the i2c controller is told to write 257 bytes into a 256-byte
buffer, putting one byte past the end of read_buf.  The same response
also makes the subsequent PEC compare

	if (crc != msgs[1].buf[msgs[1].buf[0] + 1])

read a byte beyond the array.

Bump the read_buf declaration to ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 so the
buffer can hold the length byte, up to 255 payload bytes, and the PEC
byte the i2c_msg length already accounts for.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64086 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
