spi security

About this tag
The spi security tag covers Linux kernel vulnerabilities related to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) subsystem, specifically CVE-2026-46148 and CVE-2026-46083. These CVEs highlight hardware-specific bugs in SPI controller drivers and resource cleanup issues during device registration. While not remote code execution flaws, they are security-relevant because SPI is used in embedded systems, edge devices, and Windows-adjacent infrastructure like WSL. The content emphasizes that such bugs can affect trust at the boundary between software and hardware, and administrators should be aware of patched stable branches for Linux-based appliances and industrial systems.
