Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23312)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the kaweth USB driver when handling USB endpoints during device probing. A remote attacker can connect a malicious USB device with invalid or unexpected endpoint configurations to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation does not require authentication or user interaction beyond physically connecting the device; however, the attack vector is considered remote as it targets kernel-level USB subsystem handling.
