Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64364

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139599

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-2026-64364

CWE-ID: CWE-787

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 out-of-bounds write in the HID multitouch driver when processing input from a crafted USB or Bluetooth HID multitouch device that advertises a large contact count. An attacker with physical access can provide a crafted device to corrupt adjacent members of struct mt_device and cause a denial of service.

The issue is reachable from an untrusted USB or Bluetooth HID multitouch device, and the kernel panic can be triggered from timer context through the sticky-fingers release path.
