CVE-2026-23075 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: esd_usb: esd_usb_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 esd_usb_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are allocated, added to the dev->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback esd_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and resubmitted. In esd_usb_close() the URBs are freed by calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&dev->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 esd_usb_close(). Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the esd_usb_read_bulk_callback() to the dev->rx_submitted anchor.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's esd_usb driver for USB CAN devices. This issue arises because the driver fails to properly release USB Request Blocks (URBs) after they have been processed. When URBs are completed, they are unanchored from the device's submission queue, but the driver does not account for this change, leading to a memory leak. The vulnerability affects the stable versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the latest kernel version can be found on the official Linux kernel website.
