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

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

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

firmware: arm_ffa: Bound PARTITION_INFO_GET_REGS copies

The register-based PARTITION_INFO_GET path trusted the firmware-provided
indices when copying partition descriptors into the caller buffer.
Reject inconsistent counts or index progressions so the copy loop cannot
write past the allocated array.

(fixed cur_idx when exactly one descriptor in the first fragment)

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64520 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:
