Improper control of a resource through its lifetime in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64303

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139673

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64303

CWE-ID: CWE-664

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause memory corruption or trigger a use-after-free.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown in the fsl-lpspi dma transfer error path in drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c when preparing a tx dma descriptor after the rx dma channel has already been submitted and issued. A local user can trigger a tx prepare failure during a spi dma transfer to cause memory corruption or trigger a use-after-free.

The issue occurs because the spi core unmaps dma buffers after the error is returned while the rx dma engine may continue writing to those buffers.
