Instead of\nkeeping a side table for additional information, use driver_info field of\nthe usb_device_id.\n\nThe dynamic ID parsing code needs to be updated for this; convert it to\njust write to the reserved entry for dynamic ID and remove the weird loop.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/05d47f540d85c8f6697ec5cfc1aa7b4f96a5b31b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61b84e964a829d534f24eab4cbd4035d22b52601","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7654812b65047349ea4c111eed42c4315a00e462","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c940a1100cb0aa18a54dc48d736c0525c0f400c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9425a13960ef38bac237608f25c9ee64ff113086"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-97540","score":0.00211,"percentile":0.11302,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
