CVE-2026-72078 - Vulnerability Details

- Input: ims-pcu - validate control endpoint type

Description

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

Input: ims-pcu - validate control endpoint type

The driver currently assumes that the first endpoint of the control
interface is an interrupt IN endpoint without verifying it. A malicious
device could provide a different endpoint type, which would then be
passed to usb_fill_int_urb(), potentially leading to kernel warnings
or undefined behavior.

Verify that the control endpoint is an interrupt IN endpoint.
