CVE-2026-31401 PUBLISHED

HID: bpf: prevent buffer overflow in hid_hw_request

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 09.03.2026 Published: 03.04.2026 Updated: 03.04.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: bpf: prevent buffer overflow in hid_hw_request

right now the returned value is considered to be always valid. However, when playing with HID-BPF, the return value can be arbitrary big, because it's the return value of dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests(), which calls the struct_ops and we have no guarantees that the value makes sense.
