CVE-2026-80786 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-80786: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: Wrap user-invoked calls to fb_set_var() in helper Handle fbcon during display updates in fb_set_var_from_user(). Check with fbcon if the mode change is possible, update hardware state and finally update fbcon. Update all callers. Only the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl currently does all steps. Other mode-changes callers in sysfs and driver code are missing fbcon-related steps. With the new helper, ps3fb and sh_mobile_lcdcfb no longer maintain fbcon state themselves.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-80786

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-80786 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-80786

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-80786.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-80786, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
