CVE-2026-74681 PUBLISHED

usb: misc: usbio: check ibuf_len against rxbuf_len in bulk msg

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 15.08.2026 Published: 22.08.2026 Updated: 22.08.2026

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

usb: misc: usbio: check ibuf_len against rxbuf_len in bulk msg

ibuf_len is the bulk IN (receive) buffer size, but the EMSGSIZE check in usbio_bulk_msg() compares it against txbuf_len — the bulk OUT endpoint size. Both are taken independently from different endpoints in usbio_probe(), so the check is wrong when they differ.

Use rxbuf_len for the IN direction. This matches the buffer that actually holds the response data.
