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-2026-68369 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-68369/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68369/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68369","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68369/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68369","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68369","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68369","GHSA-6mcx-v8qc-xx8r","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68369"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB gadget","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause an infinite loop in the Linux kernel USB printer gadget driver by triggering a copy_to_user failure, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: gadget: printer: fix infinite loop in printer_read()\n\nprinter_read() uses the same variable for the requested copy size and\nthe number of bytes actually copied to user space. copy_to_user()\nreturns the number of bytes not copied, so when it fails to copy\nanything, the computed copied length becomes zero.\n\nIn that case len, buf, current_rx_bytes and current_rx_buf are left\nunchanged.
