Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xpad input driver. A local attacker with a specially crafted or malicious Xbox One controller could send a malformed input packet. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) or information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:03:28 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: xpad - fix out-of-bounds access for Share button

xpadone_process_packet() receives len directly from urb->actual_length
and uses it to index the share-button byte at data[len - 18] or
data[len - 26]. Since both len and data[0] are under the device's
control, a broken controller can send a GIP_CMD_INPUT packet with
actual_length < 18 (e.g. 5 bytes) and reach this code path, causing
accesses beyond the actual array.

Fix this by calculating the offset and checking bounds against the
packet length.
