CVE-2026-80794

EUVD-2026-71437
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: nci: fix uninit-value in the RF discover/activated NTF handlers

nci_rf_discover_ntf_packet() and nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet() each
parse a notification into an on-stack struct (nci_rf_discover_ntf /
nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf) that is not initialised. The RF
technology-specific parameters are only extracted when
rf_tech_specific_params_len is non-zero, so a notification that reports a
zero length leaves the rf_tech_specific_params union uninitialised - and
both handlers then pass it to nci_add_new_protocol(), which reads it:

 - discover:  nci_add_new_target() -> nci_add_new_protocol();
 - activated: nci_target_auto_activated() -> nci_add_new_protocol().

nci_add_new_protocol() uses nfca_poll->nfcid1_len as both a branch
condition and a memcpy() length and copies nfcid1/sens_res/sel_res into
ndev->targets, which is later exposed to user space via NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET.

Zero-initialise both on-stack notifications so the union reads back as
zero when no technology-specific parameters are present.
