Overview

CVE-2026-90033 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 2026.

Technical description

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

ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_us122l_output()

The snd_usbmidi_us122l_output() picks a count of 2 on anything slower

than high speed and never relates it to ep->max_transfer. The URB

buffer holds exactly max_transfer bytes, so a device declaring a one

byte bulk endpoint takes two bytes from snd_rawmidi_transmit(), and the

memset that pads the rest computes 1 - 2 in int and wraps to SIZE_MAX.

Only 0x800e and 0x800f are pinned to nine bytes. The US-122MKII at

0x0644:0x8021 falls to the default and takes usb_maxpacket(), which the

USB core only clamps downward.

The akai and novation output ops in this file were given the same guard

recently. Do the same here.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90033?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90033 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.
