CVE-2026-6688
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FatFs R0.16 and earlier contains a downstream-caller vulnerability pattern associated with FatFs long filename handling. With LFN enabled, fno.fname can be up to 255 characters; many callers copy it into short fixed buffers without bounds checks, causing overflow. This maps to CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input). Estimated CVSS v3.1 vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H (7.6, High). The estimated CISA SSVC vectors are Exploitation: PoC, Technical Impact: Total.

"value": "FatFs R0.16 y anteriores contiene un patrón de vulnerabilidad de llamador descendente asociado con el manejo de nombres de archivo largos de FatFs. Con LFN habilitado, fno.fname puede tener hasta 255 caracteres; muchos llamadores lo copian en búferes fijos cortos sin comprobaciones de límites, causando desbordamiento. Esto corresponde a CWE-120 (Copia de búfer sin verificar el tamaño de la entrada). Vector CVSS v3.1 estimado: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H (7.6, Alta).
