CVE-2026-64328: usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix DMA fence leak

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.16% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0cae3d6109427c455bad0a18dfb3e2a91657e38a, b7475b2dce5e121e687280ba5732ccefe77ffd2f, baa6b6068a3f2bf2ed525a1cb37975905dadc658.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0cae3d6109427c455bad0a18dfb3e2a91657e38a, b7475b2dce5e121e687280ba5732ccefe77ffd2f, baa6b6068a3f2bf2ed525a1cb37975905dadc658 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix DMA fence leak In ffs_dmabuf_transfer(), a ffs_dma_fence object is kmalloc'd, with the underlying dma_fence later initialized by dma_fence_init(), which sets its kref counter to 1. Then, dma_resv_add_fence() gets a second reference, and a pointer to the ffs_dma_fence is passed as the usb_request's "context" field. The dma-resv mechanism will manage the second reference, but the first reference is never properly released; the ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() function decreases the reference count, but only to balance with the reference grab in ffs_dmabuf_signal_done(). The code will then slowly leak memory as more ffs_dma_fence objects are created without being ever freed. Address this issue by transferring ownership of the fence to the DMA reservation object, by calling dma_fence_put() right after dma_resv_add_fence(). The ffs_dma_fence then gets properly discarded after being signalled.
