Two vulnerabilities were found in libinput, an input device management and event handling library.

CVE-2022-1215

libinput did not properly handled evdev devices, which may potentially be
exploited by malicious local users in specific setup to execute arbitrary
code. Reported by Albin Eldstål-Ahrens and Lukas Lamster.

CVE-2026-50292

A udev helper provided by libinput performed insufficient sanitising of
device properties, which can result in local privilege escalation in
some setups. Reported by Csome.


For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.6-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libinput packages.
