CVE-2026-80931: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: w1: ds28e17: reject an oversize length on an I2C block read w1_f19_i2c_master_transfer() is the master_xfer for the DS28E17 1-Wire to I2C bridge. A security weakness in the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability is being tracked as CVE-2026-80931. CVE-2026-80931 currently carries a HIGH 7 8 severity signal in the retained vulnerability data. The important point is that running an affected version of the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability creates exposure, while an actual compromise still depends on whether the attacker can reach the trigger conditions described above. For an organization using the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability, the next step is to identify affected versions, map where the vulnerable function is reachable and understand what the affected process can access. On an I2C_M_RECV_LEN read, it takes the length from the device.
