Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80604)

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 hid_get_report in drivers/hid/hid-core.c when processing a numbered report with a zero-length data buffer. A local attacker can trigger hid_report_raw_event() with size 0 to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the report ID is read from data[0] before validating that the buffer contains at least one byte.
