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-2026-64273 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-2026-64273/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64273/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64273","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64273/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64273","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64273","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64273","GHSA-mwj6-9jph-6qp6","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-64273","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64273"],"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 driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious USB or serial device can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel iforce driver, potentially leading to 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":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-129","name":"Improper Validation of Array Index"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nInput: iforce - bound the device-reported force-feedback effect index\n\niforce_process_packet() handles a status report (packet id 0x02) by\ntaking a force-feedback effect index straight from the device wire and\nusing it to address the per-effect state array:\n\n\ti = data[1] \u0026 0x7f;\n\tif (data[1] \u0026 0x80) {\n\t\tif (!test_and_set_bit(FF_CORE_IS_PLAYED,\n\t\t\t\t      iforce-\u003ecore_effects[i].flags))\n\t\t\t...\n\t} else if (test_and_clear_bit(FF_CORE_IS_PLAYED,\n\t\t\t\t      iforce-\u003ecore_effects[i].flags)) {\n\t\t...\n\t}\n\nThe index is masked only with 0x7f, so it ranges 0..127, but\ncore_effects[] holds only IFORCE_EFFECTS_MAX (32) entries.
