Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64540)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 2.4 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in genelink_rx_fixup() when processing device-supplied aggregated RX frames from a crafted GeneLink (GL620A) USB device. An attacker with physical access can provide a short URB with inconsistent packet length metadata to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can leak adjacent kernel heap contents to the network stack as soon as the USB network interface is up.
