Overview

CVE-2026-72076 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

Input: ims-pcu - fix out-of-bounds read in ims_pcu_irq() debug logging

The debug logging in ims_pcu_irq() unconditionally prints data from

pcu->urb_in_buf. However, if the interrupt fired for pcu->urb_ctrl, the

actual data resides in pcu->urb_ctrl_buf. If urb->actual_length for the

control URB exceeds pcu->max_in_size, this leads to an out-of-bounds

read.

Fix this by printing from the correct buffer associated with the URB.

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-72076?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-72076 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
