1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64344)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 7.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the idmouse USB driver when release() races with disconnect(). A local user can trigger a device disconnect while the device file is being released to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
Exploitation requires a race condition involving device disconnection and file release in the idmouse driver.
