CVE-2026-90416

NameCVE-2026-90416
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix stack out-of-bounds read in cc_params debugfs get_param() reads a congestion parameter as a u32 but formats it with the signed "%d" into an 11-byte stack buffer. A value with bit 31 set, such as 0x80000000, renders as "-2147483648\n" whose full length is 12. snprintf() stores only 11 bytes yet returns 12, so simple_read_from_buffer() treats 12 bytes as valid and reads one byte past lbuf[]. Size the buffer for the widest unsigned decimal, format with "%u" to match the u32, and use scnprintf() so the length passed to simple_read_from_buffer() reflects the bytes actually stored.
