CVE-2026-90030: usb: dwc3: clear forceRM when issuing EndTransfer

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.15% (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 0afe5c31612de3d18cc6d16e616da4a48ba1e5a2, 6.6.160, 7a50e138fa28e5ba76b11af66ed41cc300c0f2be; azl3 kernel 6.6.152.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.159.1-1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0afe5c31612de3d18cc6d16e616da4a48ba1e5a2, 6.6.160, 7a50e138fa28e5ba76b11af66ed41cc300c0f2be; azl3 kernel 6.6.152.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 Release Notes; azl3 kernel 6.6.157.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.159.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: clear forceRM when issuing EndTransfer The forceRM bit of the DEPCMD register controls the behavior of the EndTransfer command used to stop an active transfer. Older DWC3 programming guide revisions recommended setting forceRM=1 when issuing EndTransfer. Newer programming guide revisions recommend issuing EndTransfer with forceRM cleared. With forceRM=1 on DWC_usb31 v2.00a and v2.10a controllers, a transfer aborted through the ep_dequeue path was observed to remain active after EndTransfer completion. A subsequent StartTransfer issued on the same endpoint triggered writes associated with the aborted transfer. This resulted in an SMMU fault because the transfer buffer had already been unmapped during EndTransfer command-completion cleanup. Using forceRM=0 eliminates the issue. Although older DWC3 programming guide revisions recommended setting forceRM=1, no issues are known from using forceRM=0. Clear forceRM when issuing EndTransfer to provide consistent EndTransfer behavior and align with newer programming guide recommendations.
