CVE-2026-23108

by ·

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: usb_8dev: usb_8dev_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak

Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a (“can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak”).

In usb_8dev_open() -> usb_8dev_start(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are
allocated, added to the priv->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the
complete callback usb_8dev_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and
resubmitted. In usb_8dev_close() -> unlink_all_urbs() the URBs are freed by
calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&priv->rx_submitted).

However, this does not take into account that the USB framework unanchors
the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an
in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not
released in usb_kill_anchored_urbs().

Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the
usb_8dev_read_bulk_callback() to the priv->rx_submitted anchor.
