Summary

In the Linux kernel, the USB iowarrior driver has a use-after-free vulnerability on disconnect race. mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock, so a kref is used to release driver data to avoid use-after-free in mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could allow an attacker to exploit a race condition to access freed memory, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system crash.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64341.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect race mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly (unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2] Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect(). [1] a51749ab34d9 ("locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic") [2] 2b9d9e0a9ba0 ("locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object after it's unlocked")
