Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46151)

CWE-ID: CWE-908 - Use of Uninitialized Resource

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


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to uninitialized memory exposure in the usblp driver when processing a short IEEE 1284 GET_DEVICE_ID control response from a connected USB printer. An attacker with physical access can connect a specially crafted device that returns a truncated response with a forged length field to disclose sensitive information.

The leaked data may be exposed through the ieee1284_id sysfs attribute and the IOCNR_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl.
