CVE-2026-80594 PUBLISHED

Input: ims-pcu - fix potential infinite loop in CDC union descriptor parsing

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 26.08.2026 Published: 28.08.2026 Updated: 28.08.2026

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

Input: ims-pcu - fix potential infinite loop in CDC union descriptor parsing

The driver parses CDC union descriptors in ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc() by iterating through the extra descriptor data. However, it does not verify that the bLength of each descriptor is at least 2. A malicious device could provide a descriptor with bLength = 0, leading to an infinite loop in the driver.

Add a check to ensure bLength is at least 2 before proceeding with parsing.
