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-2026-53196 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-2026-53196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53196/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53196","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-53196","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53196","GHSA-f3q5-7m6p-4qxq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53196","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53196","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53196","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53196","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53196"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious USB device can trigger a heap overflow in the Linux kernel io_ti driver, potentially allowing code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nUSB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()\n\nget_manuf_info() reads le16_to_cpu(rom_desc-\u003eSize) bytes from the\ndevice I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmalloc_obj(), which\nis sizeof(struct edge_ti_manuf_descriptor) = 10 bytes.\n\nThe Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in\ncheck_i2c_image()) to make sure the descriptor fits within\nTI_MAX_I2C_SIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size.\nA malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377,\ncausing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host\nrunning this driver.\n\nvalid_csum() is called after read_rom() and also iterates\nbuffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.\n\nFix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling\nread_rom().\n\n[ johan: amend commit message; also check for short descriptors ]","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()","id":"CVE-2026-53196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"xfrm: iptfs: fix ABBA deadlock in iptfs_destroy_state()","id":"CVE-2026-53197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in build_i2c_fw_hdr()","id":"CVE-2026-53195"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-18","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A malicious USB device can trigger a heap overflow in the Linux kernel io_ti driver, potentially allowing code execution or privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53196/"}
