Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-39806 (Linux). CVSS 8.8 → 7.1 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: fix slab out-of-bounds access in mt_report_fixup()
A malicious HID device can trigger a slab out-of-bounds during
mt_report_fixup() by passing in report descriptor smaller than
607 bytes. mt_report_fixup() attempts to patch byte offset 607
of the descriptor with 0x25 by first checking if byte offset
607 is 0x15 however it lacks bounds checks to verify if the
descriptor is big enough before conducting this check. Fix
this bug by ensuring the descriptor size is at least 608
bytes before accessing it.
Below is the KASAN splat after the out of bounds access happens:
