CVE-2026-72078

Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.22% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72078 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 - validate control endpoint type

The driver currently assumes that the first endpoint of the control

interface is an interrupt IN endpoint without verifying it. A malicious

device could provide a different endpoint type, which would then be

passed to usb_fill_int_urb(), potentially leading to kernel warnings

or undefined behavior.

Verify that the control endpoint is an interrupt IN endpoint.

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.
