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-2026-90197 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-2026-90197/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90197/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90197","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90197/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90197","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-90197","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90197","GHSA-m8pj-r7fv-796q","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90197"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker with local access can read uninitialized kernel memory via HID haptic reports, potentially exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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\nHID: haptic: don't write an uninitialized value to unhandled usages\n\nfill_effect_buf() initializes value only for the four haptic usages\nhandled by its switch, but writes it to field-\u003evalue[] for every usage.\nAn unhandled usage can therefore receive either an uninitialized value\nor one left over from the previous usage. hid_output_report() then\nserializes that value into the effect's report buffer.\n\nSkip unhandled usages instead.
