CVE-2026-46232

8.1 · HIGH
Published May 28, 2026 linux EPSS 0.26% (17th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-46232 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

HID: playstation: Clamp num_touch_reports

A device would never lie about the number of touch reports would it?

If it does the loop in dualshock4_parse_report will read off the end of

the touch_reports array, up to about 2 KiB for the maximum number of 256

loop iteraions. The data that is read is emitted via evdev if the

DS4_TOUCH_POINT_INACTIVE bit happens to be set. Protect against this by

clamping the num_touch_reports value provided by the device to the

maximum size of the touch_reports array.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
