NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64427

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139534

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-2026-64427

CWE-ID: CWE-476

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 NULL pointer dereference in the logi_dj_probe function in the hid-logitech-dj driver when probing a crafted Logitech DJ short output report descriptor. A local user can emulate a crafted device descriptor to cause a denial of service.

This issue is reproducible through uhid by emulating a Logitech receiver with a padding-only DJ short output report.
