UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63899: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-aws vulnerability

Q: Who is exposed to this issue?

Systems running an affected Ubuntu Linux kernel variant are exposed when they use the mxuport USB serial driver with a device that presents a bulk-out endpoint reporting a maximum packet size smaller than eight bytes. The listed kernel packages include linux, linux-fips, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, and their listed FIPS variants.

Q: What does an attacker need to exploit it?

An attacker needs to provide or emulate a malicious USB device that is handled by the mxuport USB serial driver and reports an undersized bulk-out endpoint. The malformed endpoint size can lead to user-controlled slab memory corruption.

Q: What should be done if patching cannot happen immediately?

Avoid connecting untrusted USB devices that could bind to the mxuport USB serial driver. Restrict physical USB access and do not use suspect mxuport-compatible serial devices until an updated kernel is deployed.

Published Jul 20, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: serial: mxuport: fix memory corruption with small endpoint Make sure that the bulk-out endpoint max packet size is at least eight bytes to avoid user-controlled slab corruption should a malicious device report a smaller size.

Compensating control
Enforce a minimum bulk-out endpoint maximum packet size of eight bytes in the Linux USB serial mxuport driver to prevent user-controlled slab corruption from maliciously reported smaller sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is exposed to this issue?

Systems running an affected Ubuntu Linux kernel variant are exposed when they use the mxuport USB serial driver with a device that presents a bulk-out endpoint reporting a maximum packet size smaller than eight bytes. The listed kernel packages include linux, linux-fips, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, and their listed FIPS variants.

What does an attacker need to exploit it?

An attacker needs to provide or emulate a malicious USB device that is handled by the mxuport USB serial driver and reports an undersized bulk-out endpoint. The malformed endpoint size can lead to user-controlled slab memory corruption.

What should be done if patching cannot happen immediately?

Avoid connecting untrusted USB devices that could bind to the mxuport USB serial driver. Restrict physical USB access and do not use suspect mxuport-compatible serial devices until an updated kernel is deployed.
