CVE-2026-64366 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in wacom_wac_queue_insert wacom_wac_queue_insert() calls kfifo_skip() in a loop when the kfifo doesn't have enough space for the incoming report. If the kfifo is empty, kfifo_skip() reads stale data left in the kmalloc'd buffer via __kfifo_peek_n() and interprets it as a record length, advancing fifo->out by that garbage value. This corrupts the internal kfifo state, causing kfifo_unused() to return a value much larger than the actual buffer size, which bypasses __kfifo_in_r()'s guard: if (len + recsize > kfifo_unused(fifo)) return 0; kfifo_copy_in() then performs an out-of-bounds memcpy, writing up to 3842 bytes past the 256-byte buffer. Add a !kfifo_is_empty() condition to the while loop so kfifo_skip() is never called on an empty fifo, and check the return value of kfifo_in() to reject reports that are too large for the fifo.
A slab-out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Wacom HID driver. This issue arises in the function 'wacom_wac_queue_insert()', which calls 'kfifo_skip()' in a loop when the FIFO buffer lacks sufficient space for incoming reports. If the FIFO is empty, 'kfifo_skip()' reads outdated data from the allocated buffer, misinterpreting it as a record length and corrupting the FIFO's internal state. This corruption allows 'kfifo_unused()' to return an inflated value, bypassing safety checks and leading to an out-of-bounds memory copy that writes up to 3842 bytes beyond the buffer's actual limit. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the official Linux kernel repositories. Instructions for upgrading the kernel can be found in the documentation for the specific Linux distribution in use.
