It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-46167 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46167/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46167/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46167","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46167/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46167","record":{"aliases":["AZL-88911","BELL-CVE-2026-46167","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46167","GHSA-vq8g-vcx9-rmc5","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46167","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-46167","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-46167","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-46167","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46167"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious USB printer can leak uninitialized kernel heap memory to local users via the LPGETSTATUS ioctl in the usblp driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: usblp: fix uninitialized heap leak via LPGETSTATUS ioctl\n\nJust like in a previous problem in this driver, usblp_ctrl_msg() will\ncollapse the usb_control_msg() return value to 0/-errno, discarding the\nactual number of bytes transferred.\n\nIdeally that short command should be detected and error out, but many\nprinters are known to send \"incorrect\" responses back so we can't just\ndo that.\n\nstatusbuf is kmalloc(8) at probe time and never filled before the first\nLPGETSTATUS ioctl.\n\nusblp_read_status() requests 1 byte.
