AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel. Users should update to the patched kernel version that includes the fix for CVE-2026-74603. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patch.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix board ID over-read The EEPROM board ID is a fixed 13-byte field and is not guaranteed to contain a NUL terminator. Passing it directly to devlink_info_version_fixed_put() treats it as a C string and may read beyond the field. Format at most OCP_BOARD_ID_LEN bytes into the existing local buffer before reporting the ID. Use a precision limit because the snprintf() output size alone does not bound the source string scan.
