Summary

In the Linux kernel, the USB serial keyspan_pda driver has an information leak vulnerability. The write() callback should return the number of accepted characters, but the keyspan_pda implementation returns the number of submitted characters if the write urb is not in use. If this number is larger than the number of passed characters, the line discipline continues writing data from beyond the tty write buffer, leading to information leak.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could allow data from kernel memory to be leaked to user space, potentially exposing sensitive information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64336.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
