Overview

CVE-2026-97539 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 2026.

Technical description

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

usb: xusbatm: don't rely on id table pointer arithmetic

The current code is broken when dynamic ID is involved; in such cases

usb_device_id parameter of probe lives on the heap and the pointer

arithmetic will get an index that is wildly out of bound. xusbatm

initialize the USB device IDs dynamically so it can just use driver_info

too.

Even with conversion, xusbatm still cannot support dynamic IDs, so also set

no_dynamic_id.
