CVE-2026-108952 Details
Description
RT-Thread through 5.3.0 contains a memory corruption vulnerability in the legacy USB CDC virtual COM port driver that aliases rx_ringbuffer as a Serial V2 rt_serial_rx_fifo in _function_enable(). A connected USB host configuring the CDC device triggers writes past the ring buffer into struct vcom members and an invalid rt_free() on close, causing denial of service.
A memory corruption vulnerability has been identified in RT-Thread versions through 5.3.0. The issue arises in the legacy USB CDC virtual COM port driver, which incorrectly aliases the reception ring buffer as a Serial V2 rt_serial_rx_fifo. This misrepresentation allows a connected USB host to write beyond the bounds of the ring buffer, overwriting adjacent data and leading to a denial-of-service condition. Additionally, the improper handling of the ring buffer's memory can cause invalid memory deallocations when closing the connection.
Users can update to RT-Thread version 5.3.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
