CVE-2026-74456
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error In
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error
In peak_usb_start(), each RX URB transfer buffer is allocated with kmalloc()
and the URB is flagged URB_FREE_BUFFER so that the final usb_free_urb() also
frees the transfer buffer.
If usb_submit_urb() fails, the error path frees the buffer explicitly with
kfree(buf) and then calls usb_free_urb(urb). Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set,
usb_free_urb() -> urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double
free of the transfer buffer.
BUG: KASAN: double-free in usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0
Free of addr ffff8881069ccb80 by task trigger.sh/285
Call Trace:
kfree+0x113/0x3c0
usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0
Drop the redundant kfree(buf); usb_free_urb() already releases the transfer
buffer. This mirrors commit 03819abbeb11 ("net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free
issue with interrupt buffer allocation").
