Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate control request size

f_audio_complete() copies req->length bytes into a 4-byte stack

variable:

u32 data = 0;

memcpy(&data, req->buf, req->length);

req->length is derived from the host-controlled USB request path,

which can lead to a stack out-of-bounds write.

Validate req->actual against the expected payload size for the

supported control selectors and decode only the expected amount

of data.

This avoids copying a host-influenced length into a fixed-size

stack object.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-31720 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
