Description
CVE-2026-97428 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver. It involves out-of-bounds reads during FRU PIA data parsing due to unbounded TLV walking. The issue is fixed by replacing the open-coded TLV walk with bounded helper functions that limit reads to the actual EEPROM data length, preventing memory safety violations.
