Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74680)

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

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 improper resource shutdown in cxacru_cm() in the cxacru usb atm driver when handling error conditions during urb submission and command processing. A local user can trigger an error path that leaves rcv_urb active to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be reached during device initialization when a subsequent status poll invokes the same command path again, leading to a warning when the active urb is resubmitted.
