Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64365)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 5.1 [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]


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to cause a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the letsketch HID driver inrange_timer handling when unbinding the device or during the probe error path after raw events arm the timer. An attacker with physical access can trigger device removal or induce the vulnerable cleanup sequence to cause a use-after-free condition.

The issue can be triggered by USB unplug or module removal, and also on the probe error path if I/O has already been enabled and the timer was armed before cleanup.
