CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-43436
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:
ALSA: usb-audio: Check endpoint numbers at parsing Scarlett2 mixer interfaces
The Scarlett2 mixer quirk in USB-audio driver may hit a NULL
dereference when a malformed USB descriptor is passed, since it
assumes the presence of an endpoint in the parsed interface in
scarlett2_find_fc_interface(), as reported by fuzzer.
For avoiding the NULL dereference, just add the sanity check of
bNumEndpoints and skip the invalid interface.
