CVE-2026-64336 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix information leak The write() callback is supposed to return the number of characters accepted or a negative errno. Since the addition of write fifo support the keyspan_pda implementation will however return the number characters submitted to the device if the write urb is not already in use. If this number is larger than the number of characters passed to write(), the line discipline continues writing data from beyond the tty write buffer. Fix the information leak by making sure that keyspan_pda_write_start() returns zero on success as intended.
A vulnerability in the Keyspan PDA USB serial driver of the Linux kernel has been addressed. The issue involved an information leak where the write callback could return an incorrect number of characters, potentially causing the line discipline to write data beyond the intended buffer. This problem arose after the driver was updated to support a write FIFO feature, which inadvertently allowed more data to be sent than specified. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. The patch is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
