usb: usbtmc: check URB actual_length for interrupt-IN notifications

EPSS 0.2%

Published 2026-07-19 (3 months ago) by the Linux kernel CNA. Subsystem drivers/usb. Debian urgency: not yet assigned.

What to do, per Debian release

Debian's own status for CVE-2026-63904 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source

The vulnerability

What the bug is

USBTMC devices can use an optional interrupt endpoint for notification messages. These typically contain two-byte headers indicating the payload format, but the driver does not check if these headers are present before accessing the data buffers. In cases where the URB actual_length is not enough to fit these headers, the driver will either cause an out-of-bounds read, or consume stale leftover data from a previous notification. Fix by checking if actual_data contains enough bytes for the headers, otherwise resubmit URB to the interrupt endpoint.

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Check it on the machine

grep -wE 'CONFIG_OF|CONFIG_PCI|CONFIG_USB|CONFIG_USB_ACM|CONFIG_USB_GADGET|CONFIG_USB_PHY|CONFIG_USB_PRINTER|CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT|CONFIG_USB_TMC|CONFIG_USB_WDM' /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w usbtmc

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.

Why the CNA scored it this way

The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-63904, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
