In particular, the\nshared hats-and-buttons helper unconditionally reads data[6]. The status\ntail is a sequence of 16-bit effect addresses, but an incomplete final\naddress is also consumed. A successful zero-length USB URB additionally\nreads the packet ID before the common parser is called.\n\nReject the zero-length USB transfer, require the seven-byte joystick and\nwheel prefixes and the two-byte status prefix, and consume only complete\nstatus-tail addresses.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ec411167655ef3ff3e84f6af685e962aff9a75b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c083ab16e33fbff3ab8c752fbf8118ed3dd31ce","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5232529eaf57f08fe37484e301579a1915b93d14","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5751c781d3c97ab6ce0e2a966156ed882152c415","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/609be40988898a4d75225ade0ea5c1734757dd33"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:17.453294893+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80573","score":0.0022,"percentile":0.12521,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
