Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68367)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the f_tcm delayed set_alt work handler when processing delayed USB gadget alternate-setting changes during disconnect or function teardown. A local user can trigger function unlink or teardown while delayed set_alt work is still pending to cause a denial of service.

The issue was reproduced by KASAN in tcm_delayed_set_alt after the function state was freed through configfs unlink operations.
