AI-suggested

A patch fixing this vulnerability is available and has been released in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Linux kernel versions to these fixed releases or newer to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official kernel updates.

Description

CVE-2026-64339 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB subsystem where a bulk IN response length is not properly bounded, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A malicious or malfunctioning USB device can cause the kernel to read beyond the allocated buffer, disclosing adjacent kernel memory to user space via the i2c-dev interface. This flaw was identified by code review and confirmed with AddressSanitizer. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and similar builds. A fix has been released in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0 and later.
