Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89999)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89999). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via len.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: wacom: validate report length in wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_irq
wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_irq() receives the wire report length in len
but never consults it before parsing. After the report-id gate it
unconditionally calls wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_pen() and then, selected by
features.type, a fixed chain of sub-parsers, none of which receive
len:
wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_pen(wacom);
if (type == INTUOSP2_BT || type == INTUOSP2S_BT) {
wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_touch(wacom);
wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_pad(wacom);
wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_battery(wacom);
} else {
wacom_intuos_gen3_bt_pad(wacom);
wacom_intuos_gen3_bt_battery(wacom);
}
Each sub-parser dereferences wacom->data at fixed offsets. The furthest
byte touched on each branch is:
INTUOSP2_BT / INTUOSP2S_BT: wacom_intuos_pro2_bt_pad() reads data[285]
(the touchring byte), so the report must be at least 286 bytes;
INTUOSHT3_BT ("gen3"): wacom_intuos_gen3_bt_battery() reads data[45],
so the report must be at least 46 bytes.
features.type is selected from the VID/PID id_table entry and
wacom_setup_device_quirks() force-registers the pen/pad/touch inputs
for that type independent of the report descriptor, so a malicious or
malfunctioning paired/spoofed Bluetooth peripheral can advertise that
VID/PID and send an undersized report that still satisfies the
data[0] == 0x80/0x81 gate. The driver then reads past the received
report and forwards the bytes to userspace…

CVE-2026-89999 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 8.1
Attack vector: adjacent-network / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: len
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via len without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel. Attack surface: len.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.1/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
