CVE-2026-63916 remediation guide

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: Fix OOB write in wacom_hid_set_device_mode() wacom_hid_set_device_mode() currently assumes that the HID_DG_INPUTMODE usage is always located in the first field (field[0]) of the feature report. However, a device can specify HID_DG_INPUTMODE in a different field. If HID_DG_INPUTMODE is in a field other than the first one and the first field has a report_count smaller than the usage_index of HID_DG_INPUTMODE, this leads to an out-of-bounds write to r->field[0]->value. Fix this by storing the field index of HID_DG_...

Identify the affected asset

Confirm whether Linux is installed, record the deployed version and installation path, and identify exposed interfaces.

Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.

Validate the affected-version match

Compare the deployed version with the affected range: >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < 2add311d99646c9d235b2c44f9c169ba30f5db3a, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < 83bd8a5756a3c4a413ed8f6253f9eb2821e1ccaf, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < 5716a293fb19d382ca2336e08fd28a619a5f3c25, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < ed598de9f61582902406d352d99f2073d8e00298, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < 43e7c02d6090a82fd60d63491f6871aec906345e, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < b8338111e14183972359009c12d0dbd81d2e1e16, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < 5db3fca0cec7b33bc5379411d0a60d792c9f9bc0, >= 5ae6e89f7409cb5d218bb728326eba9c650d9700 < c0a8899e02ddebd51e2589835182c239c2e224ae, >= 3.18. Treat incomplete inventory results as unresolved.

Prioritize with independent signals

The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review. Combine this signal with asset criticality, exposure, compensating controls, and business impact.

Apply supported remediation

Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path. Current fixed-version status: No verified fixed-version field is available yet. Preserve configuration and rollback material before change.

Verify the result

Confirm the resulting version, service health, authentication and access paths, monitoring coverage, and relevant security logs.

Confirm the expected version and package state.
Run a functional health check for critical service paths.
Review authentication, error, application, and security monitoring logs.
Reassess exposure if the supported fix cannot be applied.

Operational boundary

This page does not replace the vendor advisory, support contract, change-management process, or recovery plan. Do not infer that an asset is unaffected from an incomplete inventory query or a missing fixed-version field.
