CVE-2026-23307

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ems_usb module. This vulnerability occurs because the system does not properly verify the length of messages it receives. An attacker could exploit this weakness by sending specially crafted messages, potentially causing the system to crash (Denial of Service) or, in some cases, execute unauthorized code.

This flaw affects systems with EMS CPC-USB CAN adapters. The driver fails to properly validate message lengths when parsing USB URB data, potentially allowing buffer overflows. A malicious USB device could send crafted messages to trigger out-of-bounds reads or writes. Physical access to connect the USB device is required.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this issue, prevent the ems_usb module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
