Overview

CVE-2026-80604 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, 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: core: Fix OOB read in hid_get_report for numbered reports

When a caller passes a size of 0 to hid_report_raw_event() for a

numbered report, the function originally called hid_get_report() before

performing any size validation.

Inside hid_get_report(), if the report is numbered (report_enum->numbered

is true), it unconditionally dereferences data[0] to extract the report ID.

With a size of 0, this results in an out-of-bounds read or kernel panic.

Fix this by moving the numbered report size validation check before the

call to hid_get_report(), ensuring that size is at least 1 before

dereferencing the data pointer.

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.
