CVE-2026-64338 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport on probe failure uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used to detect unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register() fails, the error path drops the driver private data and the USB device reference, but leaves the parport device registered. Leaving the port registered is more than a private allocation leak: parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at the private data that the common error path is about to release. Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear priv->pp first, matching the disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer in the private data. This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while reviewing kernel code.
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's USB uss720 driver, specifically in the parport registration process. The issue arises when the uss720_probe function registers a parport before checking the 1284 register, which is used to identify unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If the 1284 register check fails, the driver attempts to clean up by releasing private data and the USB device reference, but neglects to unregister the parport. This oversight not only creates a private allocation leak but also leaves a stale pointer in the private data, potentially leading to further issues. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel. Users should upgrade to the latest version of the stable kernel where this issue has been addressed.
