1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43425)

CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown in mdc800_device_read() when handling USB read timeouts. A local user can trigger a timeout and resubmit the same URB while it is still active to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered on a subsequent read operation after a prior timeout leaves the download URB in flight.
