CVE-2025-39806
Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation

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

HID: multitouch: fix slab out-of-bounds access in mtreportfixup()

A malicious HID device can trigger a slab out-of-bounds during mtreportfixup() by passing in report descriptor smaller than 607 bytes. mtreportfixup() attempts to patch byte offset 607 of the descriptor with 0x25 by first checking if byte offset 607 is 0x15 however it lacks bounds checks to verify if the descriptor is big enough before conducting this check. Fix this bug by ensuring the descriptor size is at least 608 bytes before accessing it.

Below is the KASAN splat after the out of bounds access happens:
