CVE-2026-35094: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in libinput. An attacker capable of deploying a Lua plugin file in specific system directories can exploit a dangling pointer vulnerability. This occurs when a garbage collection cleanup function is called, leaving a pointer that can then be printed to system logs. This could potentially expose sensitive data if the memory location is re-used, leading to information disclosure. For this exploit to work, Lua plugins must be enabled in libinput and loaded by the compositor.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 43 only; version 44 only
• Freedesktop Libinput: affected versions not specified
