CVE-2026-46022

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

misc: ibmasm: fix OOB MMIO read in ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt()

ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() performs an out-of-bounds MMIO read

when the queue reader or writer index from hardware exceeds

REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60).

A compromised service processor can trigger this by writing an

out-of-range value to the reader or writer MMIO register before

asserting an interrupt. Since writer is re-read from hardware on

every loop iteration, it can also be set to an out-of-range value

after the loop has already started.

The root cause is that get_queue_reader() and get_queue_writer() return

raw readl() values that are passed directly into get_queue_entry(),

which computes:

queue_begin + reader * sizeof(struct remote_input)

with no bounds check. This unchecked MMIO address is then passed to

memcpy_fromio(), reading 8 bytes from unintended device registers.

For sufficiently large values the address falls outside the PCI BAR

mapping entirely, triggering a machine check exception.

Fix by checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE at the top of

the loop body, before any call to get_queue_entry(). On an out-of-range

value, reset the reader register to 0 via set_queue_reader() before

breaking, so that normal queue operation can resume if the corrupted

hardware state is transient.
