Linux Kernel up to 7.2-rc4 ueagle-atm uea_probe out-of-bounds

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2-rc4. Affected is the function uea_probe of the component ueagle-atm. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: atm: ueagle-atm: reject descriptors that confuse probe and disconnect uea_probe() distinguishes a pre-firmware device from a post-firmware one using the USB id (UEA_IS_PREFIRM()), and stores a different object as the interface data in each case: a 'struct completion' for a pre-firmware device (to be waited on in .disconnect()), or a 'struct usbatm_data' for a post-firmware one. uea_disconnect() instead tells the two apart by the number of interfaces of the active configuration (a pre-firmware device exposes a single interface, ADI930 has 2 and eagle has 3), and casts the interface data accordingly. Because the two handlers use different criteria, a crafted device that advertises a pre-firmware id together with a multi-interface descriptor (or a post-firmware id with a single interface) makes them disagree: the small 'struct completion' stored by uea_probe() is then passed to usbatm_usb_disconnect(), which casts it to 'struct usbatm_data' and takes instance->serialize, reading past the end of the allocation: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __mutex_lock+0x152a/0x1b80 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880470e2c60 by task kworker/1:2/982 ... __mutex_lock+0x152a/0x1b80 usbatm_usb_disconnect+0x70/0x820 uea_disconnect+0x133/0x2c0 usb_unbind_interface+0x1dd/0x9e0 ... which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96 The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of allocated 96-byte region [ffff8880470e2c00, ffff8880470e2c60) Reject such inconsistent descriptors in uea_probe() so that both handlers always make the same pre/post-firmware decision.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-68344 since 07/30/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/10/2026).

Upgrading to version 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6, 7.2-rc3 or 7.2-rc5 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch c035b1198906dd5bd3df9a3045b59254bad1ea7a/9904a46401198872ab3de34fd11f383831ef3428/d0a57f19fe2865b9747484f5f9c631f944ed9a0f/0cc0c4c14150bb5a16b88dd61368f96cd4caa9ce/71132cedd1ecbc4032d76e9928c18a10f7e39b80 is able to eliminate this problem.
