CVE-2026-89726

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen() Patch series "lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen()", v2. This series fixes an off-by-one out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen(). The first patch is the real fix, the second patch comes as a bonus and fixes the code indentation. This patch (of 2): ucs2_strnlen() checks the current character before checking whether the caller-provided maximum length has been reached. If the input is not NUL-terminated within that bound, the loop can read one ucs2_char_t past the limit. Test the length before dereferencing to prevent an off-by-one out-of-bounds read.
