Heap-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53195

Vulnerability identifier: #VU135601

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-2026-53195

CWE-ID: CWE-122

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in build_i2c_fw_hdr() in the io_ti USB serial driver when parsing a crafted firmware file. A local user can supply a firmware image with an oversized Length field to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises because the Length field from the firmware image is not validated against the available destination buffer space before copying.
