Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-63928

Published: July 20, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU138716
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 5.1 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63928
CWE-ID: CWE-787
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to cause memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to memory corruption in the omninet USB serial driver bulk-out buffer handling when processing a malicious USB device that reports a smaller endpoint max packet size than expected. An attacker with physical access can connect a crafted USB device to cause memory corruption.

The issue can lead to user-controlled slab corruption.
