Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80782)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 4.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:P/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 denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the HID magicmouse driver when processing input reports after HID input-device connection failure. An attacker with physical access can cause a subsequent input report to be processed to cause a denial of service.

The affected execution paths are for USB Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 devices, where hidraw and hiddev remain claimed.
