Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 12:44:09 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: peak_usb: add bounds check for USB channel index

The channel control index ctrl_idx is derived from rx->len which comes
directly from a device USB payload. The mask 0x0f allows values 0-15, but
the array size of usb_if->dev[] is only 2. Values 2-15 cause heap
out-of-bounds read, eventually causing kernel panic in the IRQ context.

Add bounds checking for ctrl_idx before the array access in both
pcan_usb_pro_handle_canmsg() and pcan_usb_pro_handle_error().
