Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46184)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/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 an attacker with physical access to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in detect_usb_format() when processing class-specific USB descriptor fields from a connected device. An attacker with physical access can provide a crafted USB device with bNrChannels set to 0 to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a kernel crash in playback_urb_complete() and capture_urb_complete() because a zero frame_bytes value is later used as a divisor.
