Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80918)

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

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 kernel pointer information.

The vulnerability exists due to type confusion in item_udata() and item_sdata() in the HID core when processing long-format HID descriptor items. An attacker with physical access can connect a HID device containing a crafted long-format report size item to disclose kernel pointer information.

The issue affects hid_scan_report(); hid_parse_collections() stops processing when it encounters a long item.
