Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43279

Published: May 7, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU130422
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43279
CWE-ID: CWE-787
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in prepare_silent_urb() when silencing playback URB packets in implicit feedback mode before actual playback. A local user can trigger inconsistent capture and playback stream packet sizing to cause a denial of service.

The issue can occur when the capture stream setup differs from the playback stream setup, such as due to USB core maximum packet size limitations.
