4.9 · MEDIUM

A VideoStreaming interface reports the size of its whole class-specific descriptor block in the `wTotalLength` field of its input header.

Published Oct 20, 2026CWE-125EPSS 0.17%

Overview

CVE-2026-96406 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 20, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

A VideoStreaming interface reports the size of its whole class-specific descriptor block in the `wTotalLength` field of its input header. The USBX host recorded that figure and used it as the budget for walking the format, frame and frame-interval descriptors, without holding it against the configuration descriptor actually received.

A device that reports a `wTotalLength` larger than the descriptors it supplies therefore had its own claim believed. Once the real bytes ran out the walk kept going, dereferencing the cursor past the end of the configuration buffer, in the host's context, whenever the application queried format or frame data.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
