CVE-2026-90386: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: dw: avoid shift-out-of-bounds when DAA assigns no devices On an empty bus ENTDAA assi

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: dw: avoid shift-out-of-bounds when DAA assigns no devices On an empty bus ENTDAA assi

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: dw: avoid shift-out-of-bounds when DAA assigns no devices On an empty bus ENTDAA assigns nothing, so cmd->rx_len (the count of addresses left unassigned) equals master->maxdevs. The GENMASK() index master->maxdevs - cmd->rx_len - 1 then becomes -1, which trips up UBSAN. This happens every time on boot on a Gigabyte/AMD server: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/i3c/master/dw-i3c-master.c:905:12 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int' CPU: 7 UID: 0 PID: 963 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 7.0.11-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: Giga Computing E163-Z34-AAH1-000/MZ33-DC1-000, BIOS R32_F45 04/01/2026 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80 ubsan_epilogue+0x5/0x2b __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold+0xd7/0x1ab dw_i3c_master_daa.cold+0x1b/0x96 [dw_i3c_master] i3c_master_do_daa_ext.part.0+0x3e/0xf0 [i3c] Skip the mask when no new device was assigned.

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.22%, higher than 12% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
