Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ims-pcu driver does not verify that the bLength of each descriptor is at least 2 when parsing CDC union descriptors. A malicious device could provide a descriptor with bLength=0, leading to an infinite loop.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could be exploited to hang the system or driver, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that fixes CVE-2026-80594.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix potential infinite loop in CDC union descriptor parsing The driver parses CDC union descriptors in ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc() by iterating through the extra descriptor data. However, it does not verify that the bLength of each descriptor is at least 2. A malicious device could provide a descriptor with bLength = 0, leading to an infinite loop in the driver. Add a check to ensure bLength is at least 2 before proceeding with parsing.
