Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31616)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

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 memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in pn_rx_complete() when processing an unbounded sequence of full-page USB OUT transfers. A remote attacker can send a crafted sequence of full-page USB OUT transfers to cause memory corruption.

The issue affects a Linux gadget exposing a Phonet function and occurs when each transfer is exactly PAGE_SIZE bytes, preventing the skb from being reset.
