Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Human Interface Device (HID) wacom driver. The wacom_hid_set_device_mode() function incorrectly handles the location of input mode data within a device's report. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, where the system attempts to write data beyond the allocated memory buffer. Such memory corruption could potentially allow a local attacker to cause system instability or escalate privileges.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:01:30 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: wacom: Fix OOB write in wacom_hid_set_device_mode()

wacom_hid_set_device_mode() currently assumes that the HID_DG_INPUTMODE
usage is always located in the first field (field[0]) of the feature report.
However, a device can specify HID_DG_INPUTMODE in a different field.

If HID_DG_INPUTMODE is in a field other than the first one and the first
field has a report_count smaller than the usage_index of HID_DG_INPUTMODE,
this leads to an out-of-bounds write to r->field[0]->value.

Fix this by storing the field index of HID_DG_INPUTMODE in 'struct
hid_data' during feature mapping.  In wacom_hid_set_device_mode(), use
this stored field index to access the correct field and add bounds
checks to ensure both the field index and the value index are within
valid ranges before writing.
