DescriptionNVD

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

usb: usbtmc: Flush anchored URBs in usbtmc_release

When calling usbtmc_release, pending anchored URBs must be flushed or killed to prevent use-after-free errors (e.g. in the HCD giveback path). Call usbtmc_draw_down() to allow anchored URBs to be completed.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free condition in Linux kernel USB Test and Measurement Class (USBTMC) driver allows local authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The vulnerability occurs when the usbtmc_release function fails to properly flush pending anchored URBs, leaving dangling references that can be exploited in the HCD giveback path. …
