Improper input validation in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43156

Vulnerability identifier: #VU130578

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4 BT: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43156

CWE-ID: CWE-20

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in pegasus_probe() when probing a malformed USB device with mismatched endpoint descriptors. An attacker with physical access can connect a specially crafted USB device to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered because the driver assumes fixed endpoint numbers and transfer types for RX, TX, and status interrupt URBs.
