CVE-2026-64497
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: chemical: scd30: Cleanup initializations and fix sign-extension bug Include linux/bitfield.h for FIELD_GET(). Create new macros for bit manipulation in combination with manual bit manipulation being replaced with FIELD_GET(). The current variable declaration and initializations are barely readable and use comma separations across multiple lines. Refactor the initializations so that mantissa and exp have separate declarations and sign gets initialized later. In addition (and due to the nature of the cleanup), fix a sign-extension bug where, float32 would get bitwise anded with ~BIT(31) (which is 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFFFFF) which corrupted the exponent.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.
Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
