CVE-2026-68359

Published Aug 10, 2026 EPSS 0.23% (14th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-68359 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026.

Technical Description

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

hwmon: (nzxt-smart2) Stop device IO before calling hid_hw_stop

Calling hid_hw_stop() does not stop the device IO.

This results in a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point

immediately following the execution of hid_device_io_start() within

the driver probe function. If the probe operation fails after "io start"

has been initiated, this race condition will result in a UAF vulnerability.

Fix the problem by calling hid_device_io_stop() before calling

hid_hw_stop().

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
