Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90015)

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

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause data corruption and leak DMA mappings.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of bounce buffers in the xHCI transfer descriptor bounce-buffer cleanup logic when processing sufficiently large fragmented bulk USB transfers that span multiple ring segments. A local user can submit a crafted bulk transfer to cause data corruption and leak DMA mappings.

For IN transfers, unreturned bounce-buffer data can leave a wMaxPacketSize-sized region of the destination buffer containing its previous contents.
