CVSS 3.1
7.1 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-43427
High (7.1) 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:
usb: class: cdc-wdm: fix reordering issue in read code path
Quoting the bug report:
Due to compiler optimization or CPU out-of-order execution, the
desc->length update can be reordered before the memmove. If this
happens, wdm_read() can see the new length and call copy_to_user() on
uninitialized memory. This also violates LKMM data race rules [1].
Fix it by using WRITE_ONCE and memory barriers.
