CVE-2026-93085 — firmware: arm_scmi: Reject out of range DT protocol IDs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scmi: Reject out of range DT protocol IDs SCMI protocol IDs carried in message headers are limited by MSG_PROTOCOL_ID_MASK. The DT parsing paths noticed protocol IDs outside that range, but only logged an error and then kept processing the invalid value. That lets a malformed 32-bit DT reg value reach helpers which take a u8 protocol ID, where it can be truncated and/or treated as a different protocol. For channel setup, two different out-of-range values can also be used as distinct IDR keys while aliasing the generated SCMI protocol identity. Skip DT protocol nodes whose reg value does not fit the SCMI protocol ID field before setting up channels or creating protocol devices.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-93085 is "firmware: arm_scmi: Reject out of range DT protocol IDs", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.21% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
