Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63902)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in cypress_read_int_callback() in the cypress_m8 USB serial driver when processing malformed short interrupt packets. A local attacker can provide a specially crafted short interrupt report to cause a denial of service.
Successful interrupt transfers can complete with fewer bytes than required for the selected Cypress packet header format.
