Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 usbatm net/atm/common.c __vcc_connect ci_range 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 was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 and classified as very critical. This issue affects the function __vcc_connect of the file net/atm/common.c of the component usbatm. The manipulation of the argument ci_range with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: atm: usbatm: fix invalid ci_range initialization syzbot reported a shift-out-of-bounds in __vcc_connect(): UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/atm/common.c:382:32 shift exponent -1 is negative CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5987 Comm: syz.0.18 Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 08/05/2026 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0xe8/0x150 lib/dump_stack.c:120 ubsan_epilogue+0xa/0x30 lib/ubsan.c:233 __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x36d/0x400 lib/ubsan.c:494 __vcc_connect+0x14b4/0x19c0 net/atm/common.c:382 vcc_connect+0x328/0x8f0 net/atm/common.c:498 pvc_bind+0x272/0x380 net/atm/pvc.c:52 __sys_bind+0x2e3/0x410 net/socket.c:1976 __x64_sys_bind+0x7a/0x90 net/socket.c:1979 ... ATM device ci_range fields (vpi_bits and vci_bits) represent the number of bits supported for VPI and VCI addressing on the device. net/atm/common.c directly uses these fields as bit shift counts: vpi >> dev->ci_range.vpi_bits vci >> dev->ci_range.vci_bits 1 << vcc->dev->ci_range.vpi_bits 1 << vcc->dev->ci_range.vci_bits usbatm_atm_init() sets ci_range.vpi_bits and ci_range.vci_bits to ATM_CI_MAX (-1), which is defined in <uapi/linux/atmdev.h> as a sentinel value for userspace ATM_SETCIRANGE requests, not a valid bit count. Shifting by -1 is undefined behavior and triggers UBSAN warnings. ATM UNI cell headers allow up to 8 bits for VPI (0..255) and 16 bits for VCI (0..65535). Initialize vpi_bits to 8 and vci_bits to 16, as done by solos-pci.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-90055 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/17/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.110, 6.18.52, 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 8442586526c406527bf31206e538c0ce6bc672e6/561cbd6d49022c9a383e22a39c87a165a4d39f9c/76bc7c3a44856744b64aa91d9afe6d9522a78c42/7baa0c92be39eb3da755ed6f200497a57078c47b/1e964d414bfd9f8dfe9948d08e4b9dda4ed2e422/ff7f77a234f7b74e5955a6e34fa74eca4c9ca44c/75667703115154a4fd9cf259d4f826d8729cbcda/a60fd8c6dbaa76da4163cf225ed2b9e982540f39 is able to eliminate this problem.
