Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74457)

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

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 a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in pcan_usb_pro_handle_canmsg() and pcan_usb_pro_handle_error() when processing a crafted USB device payload. A local attacker can supply channel index values outside the bounds of usb_if->dev[] to cause a denial of service.

The channel control index is derived from device-supplied fields and values 2 through 15 exceed the two-entry usb_if->dev[] array, which can lead to a kernel panic in IRQ context.
