--- title: "CVE-2026-80973\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-80973?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2026-80973 Publication date 14 September 2026 Last updated 14 September 2026 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: 6fire: bound the MIDI event length from the device usb6fire\_comm\_receiver\_handler() forwards a MIDI event using a length byte the device supplies, with no bound and no check that the transfer delivered that many bytes: if (!urb->status) { if (rt->receiver\_buffer[0] == 0x10) /\* midi in event \*/ if (midi\_rt) midi\_rt->in\_received(midi\_rt, rt->receiver\_buffer + 2, rt->receiver\_buffer[1]); } receiver\_buffer is a 64-byte kzalloc() buffer (COMM\_RECEIVER\_BUFSIZE), so only 62 bytes follow the two-byte header. receiver\_buffer[1] is a u8 the device chooses, so a device that answers with 0x10 and a length of 0xFF makes snd\_rawmidi\_receive() read 255 bytes starting two bytes into a 64-byte object. The bytes past the buffer are handed to userspace through the rawmidi read path. urb->actual\_length is not consulted either, so a short transfer leaves both the type byte and the length byte at their previous values and the handler acts on stale data. The receiver URB is submitted from usb6fire\_comm\_init() at probe, so the read happens on plug with no user action; forwarding to userspace also needs a MIDI input substream open, since usb6fire\_midi\_in\_received() only calls snd\_rawmidi\_receive() when rt->in is set. KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64), single packet from an emulated device: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in snd\_rawmidi\_receive Read of size 255 at addr ffff000009f64682 by task bash/183 \_\_asan\_memcpy snd\_rawmidi\_receive usb6fire\_midi\_in\_received [snd\_usb\_6fire] usb6fire\_comm\_receiver\_handler [snd\_usb\_6fire] Allocated by task 11: usb6fire\_comm\_init [snd\_usb\_6fire] usb6fire\_chip\_probe [snd\_usb\_6fire] The buggy address is located 2 bytes inside of allocated 64-byte region [ffff000009f64680, ffff000009f646c0) Reject the event when the length exceeds the bytes that follow the header, and require the transfer to have delivered the header plus that many bytes. The receiver URB is submitted with a 64-byte transfer\_buffer\_length, so a genuine device cannot deliver an event longer than those 62 bytes and nothing valid is dropped.
