Overview

CVE-2026-72352 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

HID: bpf: Fix hid_bpf_get_data() range check

hid_bpf_get_data() returns a pointer into the HID-BPF context data when

the caller-provided offset and size fit inside ctx->allocated_size.

The current check adds rdwr_buf_size and offset before comparing the

result against ctx->allocated_size. Since both values are unsigned, a

very large size can wrap the sum below ctx->allocated_size and make the

helper return a pointer even though the requested range is not contained

in the backing buffer.

Use check_add_overflow() to reject wrapped range ends before comparing

the requested range end against ctx->allocated_size.

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.
