CVE-2026-64347: usb: gadget: composite: fix dead empty check in the USB_DT_OTG handler
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: 0.09% (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 01feaf024f29618d5ffa7ab0fd858e0579dcbf7b, 2454264b2ab4cf0055c0bfd39e79f830452bd0db, 56add2b9b2e89ec61c0761165d758f73004fdfdf.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 01feaf024f29618d5ffa7ab0fd858e0579dcbf7b, 2454264b2ab4cf0055c0bfd39e79f830452bd0db, 56add2b9b2e89ec61c0761165d758f73004fdfdf or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: composite: fix dead empty check in the USB_DT_OTG handler The OTG branch of composite_setup() falls back to the first configuration when none is selected: if (cdev->config) config = cdev->config; else config = list_first_entry(&cdev->configs, struct usb_configuration, list); if (!config) goto done; ... memcpy(req->buf, config->descriptors[0], value); list_first_entry() never returns NULL. On an empty list it returns container_of() of the list head. So the "if (!config)" check is dead. When cdev->configs is empty, config points at the head inside struct usb_composite_dev. config->descriptors[0] reads whatever sits at that offset. The memcpy copies up to w_length bytes of it into the response buffer. cdev->configs can be empty in two cases. One is a teardown race on gadget unbind with a control transfer in flight. The other is a driver that sets is_otg before it adds a config. A reproducer that holds cdev->configs empty triggers a KASAN fault in this branch. Use list_first_entry_or_null() so the existing check does its job.
