When the window\nexceeds 128 KiB, a write()/read() copies past the kern_buf allocation.\n\nClamp count against size_buf in both helpers, with an early return when\n*ppos is already at/after the buffer end.  *ppos is >= 0 here (the caller\nrejects negative offsets), so size_buf - *ppos cannot wrap.  This mirrors\nthe existing clamp in the MASTER-path helpers resource_to_user() /\nresource_from_user(), and matches the read()/write() convention of a\nshort transfer at end-of-buffer.\n\nFound by static analysis (CodeQL taint tracking + CBMC bounded model\nchecking) and confirmed dynamically under KASAN with the vme_fake bridge:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_from_user+0x2d/0x80\n  Write of size 262144 at addr ffff888004100000 by task trigger/68\n    _copy_from_user+0x2d/0x80\n    vme_user_write+0x13e/0x240 [vme_user]\n    vfs_write+0x1b8/0x7a0\n    ksys_write+0xb8/0x150","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1b495fa0d4927c88d88bf346bf311f2e26e860ed","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/65358d89dc9f1c25d9364b2b3ef0f3b47717f9ed","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8eff7cd4817e14dbe3b9952cce55ef52d1d38940","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f32f38265014fac7f5dc9490fb01a638ce6e121","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/adc8b9c30d716c362646edb45662aa1c641a154a"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64449","score":0.00139,"percentile":0.0322,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
