Improper resource shutdown or release in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43428

Published: May 8, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU130762
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43428
CWE-ID: CWE-404
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in usbcore when handling USB message timeouts. A local user can trigger an excessively long synchronous timeout to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation can leave a task stuck in an uninterruptible wait until the target device is unplugged.
