CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-43251
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: prodikeys: Check presence of pm->input_ep82
Fake USB devices can send their own report descriptors for which the
input_mapping() hook does not get called. In this case, pm->input_ep82 stays
NULL, which leads to a crash later.
This does not happen with the real device, but can be provoked by imposing as
one.
