Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89621)
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 uninitialized kernel memory.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in mcp2221_raw_event() in the MCP2221 HID driver when handling a short MCP2221_I2C_GET_DATA HID report. An attacker with physical access can send a crafted HID report with a length value exceeding the received report size to disclose uninitialized kernel memory.
